A little peak at what's on the horizon for the NBA.

Can't wait to read the whiny complaints from some of you curmudgeons. ;)

Good article here with details. At first glance I thought of the ball bouncing differently or players getting a different physical reaction from running, jumping, landing, cutting, etc but those things seem to have been non-issues. The glass doesn't get hot, you can program/diagram plays for practice/shootaround same as a computer screen, arenas can hold watch parties, show stats, swap out sponsor logos (more $$). Very cool. A major drawback is that teams/arenas might not need workers assembling/disassembling a court for other events which will impact jobs, which owners won't care about at all.

Technologies that can threaten to replace your job are evil and dangerous.

Technologies that can threaten to replace other people’s jobs are just progress.

I think Bones had a line to that effect in The Ultimate Computer.

Good article and I think this is an understated benefit.
What FIBA determined in the end, according to Prinssen, was that the court’s lines were precise, that the floor’s matte finish created actually less glare on TV and that the glass was only five to 10 degrees warmer than a hardwood floor.

"We see that, if you fall on it, it has no burning, you can't have the burning," Prinssen says. "[But] the vaporization [removes] a little bit of the moisture on it [if there’s sweat on the court]. It's less slippery."
You brought up the potential job loss for the manual maintenance of the current hardwood courts, but wouldn't they in someway just be replaced by technicians who program and maintain the newer design?

They may hire a tech or two for the additional run of show on the court similar to the scoreboards and LEDs, or they would just add it to the responsibilities of people already there. Same for any new art/graphics going to the digital team. It wouldn't be upwards of the 40-60-80 or whatever arena staff/carpenters needed to put a court down or take it apart right after a game for an incoming concert or some other event. And that's not even getting into potential union issues with those workers.

Lol my first thought is those warnings you get for flashing lights in movies or video games that could cause seizures. 😳

I'd bet the NBA tries it out for All-Star weekend pretty soon.

I'm not sure Allen Iverson has the technical know-how.

I figured he meant AI McCoy, who now has plenty of time on his hands to enact the nefarious schemes he's been plotting for the last seventy years.

After watching “Zero Days” totally agree the possibilities are endless…. 😳.

I’m assuming they’d just project a wood floor to appease the purest of the game but you’d have to think a glass floor would be quasi worse to play on vs wood floors.

See how they react to a bunch of fake sink holes into oblivion in random places on the court that change places every so often. That should make it interesting.

BTW, Beal is in the positive side of the jumbled middle section.

I miss that guy so much. Dammit, why couldn't the Nets have been dumb and wanted Ayton instead?
