    Kind of distracting. And kind of corny.

      Makes it hard to focus on the game when you are taking a shot from a palm tree.

        I like it, but not as a competition basketball court, the blue ocean and palm fronds are disorienting, makes the court look lopsided and the paint area narrow.

          Ever since those types of designs began leaking through (aka three years ago) I've wondered how long it takes for players to adapt to the floor itself. I feel like it'd have to take some kind of adjustment, where for instance the three point line looks different on one side of the court than the other. It also does not seem very OCD friendly, but I like looking at it.

            I'm amazed that got approved by the NCAA.

              I think Oregon's is way worse, i.e. more distracting.

                      Its a nice picture for them, but not court I find it too distracting to be able to play on it. I wonder why teams are putting more emphasis on these new court designs?

                        Just noticed there's no three point line. And it'd be impossible to see in the tree area of the court unless the line changed to white. That'd be fugly.

                          Here is an image I found with the 3 pt line, still hate it for a competitive court.
