World's craziest basketball court

Well, a candidate at any rate. Courtesy of Ball Don't Lie:

A regulation-sized basketball court was erected on the grove-like forecourt of the school building of the occupational school. The court consists of a soft orange-red tartan covering and two normed baskets and seems to be forced over the grid of the lamps that have been set up. The playable court has been "morphed" as in a 3D program on a computer and looks like the grounds of a rollercoaster, with heights and depths and calm and dynamic zones. The resulting paradox, which moves between a normative set of rules and pleasurable, anarchic change, requires creative engagement for its use.


Naturally, it reminded me of this:

Playable? If your just taking jump mshots. Still looks really cool, though.

An injury is waiting to happen if someone plays on that thing. But, that's some creativity right there :wink:

The former team (Walker-Rose-Pedja-Anderson-Fisher) would vaporize the latter team off the face of the earth. They have gobs of rings, the latter team has one ring combined. Anyone who doesn't have a ring is worthless especially compared to those who won rings.

Real basketball fans know this, anyone with a ring is better than anyone without one automatically.

Learn about the game already, maybe you could try watching it to start.

Antoine Walker would never play on that court. But then again, fours don't exist on regular courts either, which are his preference.
