Wouldn't that cause more knee injuries / wear+tear?

not sure why it would? just socks more or less.
― Better Pau Gasol (Spottie), Tuesday, 12 April 2016 21:32 (six years ago) link
I remember reading somewhere that the more you immobilize the ankles, the more stress goes into the knees. So if they're just compression socks, maybe not?
― Jenny Ondioleeene (Leee), Tuesday, 12 April 2016 21:38 (six years ago) link
this is going to end with players in full body compression iron man/ greenscreen suits up to their necks and in 2023 some young hotshot will start covering his head and then THAT'S gonna be a thing

i can't quite make it out there but in the past i think i've assumed it's actually a herringbone pattern? which as you say is a cool idea, but nothing looks good grayscale like that. i'm tempted to say there's something actually objectively bad about the gray in terms of television color balance - it really does seem like my tv struggles to give guys the skin color of actually alive human beings - but i'm also happy to allow that it's probably just a lifetime of watching basketball that's having the effect of an optical illusion when looking at courts like this, that the desaturation is everywhere, not just on the floor.
the black end of the warriors' court looks pretty cool actually but yeah the gray end is like... the webpage stopped loading

just now realising that i've been unconsciously blaming jay-z for the nets' court. i've always just assumed that his "fashion" background came into play here and he pulled rank and was like, jabbing at moodboards with a cigar in his hand, and that week he was really into herringbone so it's like, herringbone it is, also make the uniforms black - can somebody check the sales figures on black uniforms across the league please? oh, it is? yes right away mr carter - also the court should be black. well it can't be black that'll look terrible. gray? okay let's compromise on gray
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 13 January 2023 16:59 (three weeks ago) link
it is herringbone but i think theres also something about the wood or how its finished thats different too you can see the grain more and it looks kind of shimmery, doesnt really come through on the twitter vid obvs
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 January 2023 17:01 (three weeks ago) link
jayz sold his nets stake before the gray court but its still kind of his fault since he did come up with the old navy ass black unis, generally the whole nets brooklyn schtick is just unbearable, when you go there live they play like 20 jayz songs a game and yell where brooklyn its so lame complete marketing brain
