The Cavaliers unveiled a new court, and the relatively clean design featured an understated silhouette of the Cleveland skyline along the sideline.
There’s nothing understated about the silhouette in New Orleans.

Hard to see there, but area inside of 3-point arc on both side includes a silhouette of a pelican. Nothing like it in NBA now.

That picture doesn’t show the Pelican clearly, but you can tell there’s something dramatic there.
I typically favor going outside the box, and that court design is definitely something else. Points to the Pelicans for originality.
As far as quality, I have to wait for a better view, but I’m more intrigued than I’ve ever been about a court design.
