The inaugural NBA in-season tournament is coming in November, and the league just revealed 30 alternate court designs that will be used in group play and the quarterfinals of the event.
For all games in those rounds, teams will be playing on fully painted courts with no wood grain visible, with a 16-foot-wide “runway” stripe in the middle of the court from end to end. Each court features the NBA Cup trophy at center court.
NBA teams took those design details and delivered vibrant, colorful court designs. While some teams can be proud of an awesome new look, other designs missed the mark.
We ranked every NBA in-season tournament court. Let’s start with the worst of the bunch and work our way through to the best.
