You beat me to the post

but I have the opposite opinion. Two things I don't like. 1) why the purple stain instead of painting it solid purple? It looks faded and like it was a botched job, especially with the dark purple painted logo at the center jump circle. 2) don't like the paint in the circle instead of the lane. I've seen some courts that have a slightly darker/lighter stain inside/outside the 3-point line and that can be a nice contrast. Call me old school, however, as I prefer the paint in the lane. It kind of takes on an entire new meaning when you say "post the defender up in the paint" when you could be twenty feet from the hoop on that floor.

You would think the nerds would have a slightly nicer design.

Yeah is does look like they did a crayola paint job. Unique I guess is what they went after. Maybe the NW School of Advertising was brought in
