So again, I don't think it's lack of attention to detail, I think it's a copyright or other legal matter. I think they have to make certain elements of team courts and uniforms different as to stay within legal bounds. I don't know this for sure, just speculating.

That's what the NBA license is for. The right to replicate courts, jerseys etc. It's not a copyright issue.
