Raptors have one of the best court designs in NBA

I was reading over the various basketball blogs, as I do each morning, and came across some positive Toronto Raptors news. Total Pro Sports had a post on the best 12 court designs in the NBA. As someone who watches a lot of Raptors ball, I knew their court had to be on the list, and it was. Why, well the colors are clean and despite them saying they don’t like the grey claw, I think it looks better this year. Oh and the optical illusion is a big hit. However, the Raptors made one change to their court this year that gets them on this list, and that is the awesome tromp l’oeil—a fancy French term for “optical illusion”—lettering at the ends of the court. You see, when you watch on TV, it looks like there’s a placard that says “Raptors” at each baseline. In reality, it’s just a fancy 3D paint job that creates the illusion of placards. Which is awesome. What do you think of their top 12? Did they miss any? I wonder who has the worst court design? addthis_url = 'http%3A...
