    Default Why did the NBA stop putting the Larry O'Brien Trophy sticker on the court?

    During the NBA Finals. I have always loved the way it looked. Reminds the players what they're fighting for essentially.

    No clue. I liked it a lot. Hopefully Silver can bring it back

    It was too big. Looked like shit, imo. Also don't those stickers get more slippery compared to not having a giant, ugly ass, sticker?

    Don't know the reason tho.

    I'm reading it maybe due to players complaining about the logo obscuring the halfcourt line...but I'm not buying it.

    I liked the big model of the trophy, and the players stood on it during the lineup announcements

    I like the 16 trophies/numbers or whatever along the announcer's table which teams cross out one after each victory. Do we still have that?
