The NBA Finals were on track and led to discourse surrounding the presentation. Commissioner Adam Silver addresses the issue, including the lack of a trophy logo on Center Court.
The NBA Finals always felt like the most important set of games during the season. There was a presentation that made it clear that the series was important, as it is the biggest stage of basketball. Unfortunately, some people feel that the NBA Finals are down to quality, so that didn’t work on the best.
On the court, basketball is amazing, so people get value for money when they watch. Sadly, the NBA Finals feel like a regular season game for some. Previously there was a special aura surrounding the NBA Finals, which was symbolized by the big trophy on Center Court.
Now Adam Silver is entertaining the debate as he sees fans asserting that the trophies are important. This was essential for NBA Finals presentation and branding. Despite the miraculous comeback of the Indiana Pacers, for some, I felt it was as energetic as it could reach the presentation.
When you look at the 2000s Final Series, you will see the trophy logo on Center Court. It was clear for the logo whenever people caught the most important series of the season. The league left its way out in the 2010s, but that felt strange to some.
It may have been the nostalgia of people who spoke in the past, but now it is even more important. The finals lost their sheen as they felt like a regular season game. That shouldn’t happen at the pinnacle of the NBA season with the best teams in the league.
This led people to ask more about the trophy logo coming back, which has led to silver dealing with it even more. Given that the NBA Cup game has a logo on the half court, that should mean the finals aren’t an issue. It also helps to remind people to look at the story of Jake Paul’s assessment and disprove it.
“There might be a way around that. To be honest, I didn’t think much about it until I saw it on social media. I’m nostalgic about certain things too,” Silver said at the NBA Cares Charity event via Sam Amic, athletic at the Boys and Girls Club in Oklahoma County.
“In a media-driven culture, people who watch live show but also people who see those images on social media. It’s good when looking back at the highlights. They stand out because they see the trophy logo and other signs that it’s a special event.
“One of the reasons why we left the court logo is that it felt like it might have added slipperiness to the court, whether it was recognition or reality.”
The NBA Finals are looking more as they are the highest level of basketball this year. This season, the Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder have an exciting series. Game 1 is already a huge hit, and it appears that future games are also prepared to become crowd favorites.
Indiana proved in Game 1 that they could be OKC’s Kryptonite. It’s a shame fans are missing out on one of the most exciting matches in recent history. Thunder is a potential dynasty, so some fans are missing out on a great team.
Compared to other sports leagues, the NBA is short on the biggest game presentations. The NBA can catch up with leagues like the NFL and NHL. This is with him as the staff just need to work hard and Silver is the commissioner.
It appears they are taking steps to improve their presentation, as he deals with the way he potentially returns to the trophy logo.
