The Future? Customizable LED Glass Court Shown By FIBA

FIBA has unveiled a brand-new glass LED court surface at the U19 World Cup in Madrid, Spain. It is entirely customizable and can be changed within seconds. Is this likely to be seen in the NBA in the future?

In the video presented above, the court's advanced LED technology enables the seamless rotation of a wide range of graphics, patterns, animations, and advertisements.

However, one cannot ignore the potential concerns regarding the increased prominence of advertising. With the introduction of an LED surface, the advertising potential could escalate to an overwhelming extent, which may be met with mixed feelings.

However, a few questions arise: How does the ball react to the surface? Is there any difference in the sneaker grip on it? Does it provide less cushioning when a player falls? Does this distract the players in any way, shape, or form?
