This is a video demonstration of an LED basketball court in Japan. The images on the court aren’t projected from above like some stadiums here in the US, the actual court is made of a bunch of LED panels. That way players don’t have to worry about lights shining in their eyes if the court is displaying something mid-game (although I wonder if the panels affect ball bounce vs a wooden court). Still seems like it would still be distracting though. Plus apparently there are fireballs and smoke machines. Why even play basketball at all, why not just commit to being a circus?

Keep going for a video demo.
