Changes: Turned to the real colors of franchise at court, green and yellow.

1996 NBA Finals run and the real Payton era (1996-2001):

Changes: The new color scheme, including dark red.

This court included the time of Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis and Desmond Mason (2002-2006):

Changes: Turning to real colors again, but at the whole artwork (logo, jersey etc.)

The last years of Seattle including Chris Wilcox, Kevin Durant and Jeff Green (2007-2008):

interesting. the last sonics courts had a different color wood inside of the 3 point line.

This time I made the courts of Hornets franchise.

The era of first Hornets team (D. Curry, Rambis, Chapman etc.) (1989-1990):

Changes: A simple court of Hornets, based on turquise.

Time of L. Johnson, Mourning, Bogues and Gill (1990-1996)

Changes: Added purpleish blue, looks better.

1997 All-Star MVP Glen Rice, Baron Davis, Jamal Mashburn's times. This is the last court design of Hornets franchise in Charlotte (1996-2002)

Changes: Added 2 ball designs on court, the colored parts are based on a gradient.

The first Hornets court design before Katrina hurricane, the era of Wesley, Davis and Mashburn (2002-2005):

Changes: The gradients are gone, just there are 3 colored parts (2 of them are turquise and 1 of them is purple).

Rookie Chris Paul's era, Oklahoma City Hornets "NOK" (2005-2007):

The All-Star Weekend was at New Orleans that year, also Chris Paul almost became MVP that year (2007-2008):

Post No.: 3200

the 97 hornets had a honeycomb pattern inside the key and the basketball design in the free throw area is incorrect.

and the lakers had at least more more design between 91 & 99 when the color of the forum silhouette is purple and when Great Western Bank went out of business. and it said "Los Angeles Lakers" inside of the yellow circle at center court.

and just to let you know, the charge/block semi circles were dotted at one point and did not exist before the 90's

Do da Mavs

Qballer, can you send me the honeycomb pattern and basketball design?

Mavericks changed their colors with Mark Cuban. This was when Nowitzki became a superstar and MVP (2001-2009):


The newest court, including the "mavs.com" ads. (2009-...):

Those pink Pistons court are terrible.
Repeat all courts that were before 2000, they don't have the restricted area (that curved line inside the paint).

The very first court of Cavaliers. I liked that one a lot. (1970-1973):


The second one at Richfield. The Richfield Miracle was at that period. (1973-1983):


A turn to blue-orange from red-yellow. That looks not so good to me.(1983-1994):
