The NBA Finals used to feature amazing artwork on the court. It usually was the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy or the NBA Finals logo.

This year’s Finals have showcased a small, digitized trophy graphic that has caused an uproar from fans on social media.

The NBA as a league is estimated to be worth about $86 billion. You would think that the court design would be top tier for the Finals.

Instead, it looks like a high schooler made the graphics from his parents’ basement. Still, there is hope as the series shifts to Indiana. Maybe, the Hoosier state can deliver a much better design.
