[Charania] The NBA will return to painting the Larry O’Brien trophy at center court and Finals script logo on the home team’s floor for the Finals starting this season, per sources. The last time the large trophy was painted on court was 2009.

7. Weren’t players slipping on it or something?

8. NBA is getting their shit together. I love it

9. We finally bullied Silver into making a positive change

10. I mean I’m just saying it’s not a coincidence the last time was in 2009

11. I feel like the extreme emphasis on nostalgia for the idealized past that we’ve been seeing in almost every part of society these days is pretty pathological. This is something that needs to be studied.

12. Hopefully, the technology has improved the last 16 years and players won’t slip and slide on the trophy decals which was one reason the league removed them after 2009.

13. We’re so back baby

14. They developed anti slip technology in the big 2025

15. Bullying does work, look at that

    One night of NBA on NBC and it was incredible. It felt like I was 8 again. Just a TV presentation but wild how that works

16. NBC back one single day and makes adjustments to make it better

    Fuck ESPN, we are SO BACK BABY

17. While we’re at it, put the playoffs logo on the court in all rounds before the finals, not the sideline.

18. I don’t care for the massive Larry O Brien but removing “The Finals” script was so lame. Especially since they just put digital ads there now.

19. Bullying works man

20. NBA said we bringing it all back lol

    We gave up NBA on TNT for this

21. hopefully everyone involved with that shitty low quality ‘nba finals’ superimposed on the court during last year’s finals are thoroughly embarrassed

22. You know who was in the Finals in 2009?

    Time for the Magic to make the Finals again! This time we’re winning *two* games before losing

23. FINALLY

24. #DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING

25. Can NBC take over the Finals now??

26. As a pistons fan whose team started sucking in 2009, I’m happy to see we have a contender again.

27. NBA on NBC and now this? Woooo

28. “We’ve finally opened our inbox and discovered that our fans like good things and dislike bad things”

29. We must continue bullying Adam Silver.
