It's too bad that they love all this ugly extra stuff plastered on the court, because the one on the far right looks great.

So they used a bridge that goes to Arkansas as a design on their court? Interesting.


If you knew anything about Memphis you would know the M bridge is special to memphians. It's a pretty good court. Certainly not worse than oregons.

I like traditional courts (think Duke), but it's not terrible. However, I could see some problems coming into play where the 3pt line, bridge and skyline intersect. There's a lot going on there. Might lead to some questionable 3 pt calls.

putting gay hashtags on your court will be something they regret in a few years....hell they should regret doing it now

Yeah it's stupid but that was all over courts even last year. Will be way worse this season.

I really don't like this flashy design we're getting into now with sports. First it was college football and their 100 uniform combinations....then it shifted to 100 combinations + unrecognizable sh!t like Maryland....then the NFL started following along....now basketball is going with courts with trees and skylines and the terrible "sleeve" jerseys.

Bring back the classic look.

Court looks good except for the social media stuff. On a side note, I've always been partial to courts that used the state outline somewhere at mid court, like Texas or Tennessee.

I like #3, but again I do not know how important the bridge is to Memphis folk?
