World's craziest basketball court

[RandomGuy]

Viewed from directly above it looks normal.

We're not sure, outside of displaying one's artistic integrity, why someone would choose to make a 3D-styled basketball court featuring lumps and lamps and all sorts of weirdness, but we do appreciate the results. Because it gives us an excuse to wonder what it would be like to play basketball on a court like this:


Whoa, man. Here's a description of the court, from inges idée:

A regulation-sized basketball court was erected on the grove-like forecourt of the school building of the occupational school. The court consists of a soft orange-red tartan covering and two normed baskets and seems to be forced over the grid of the lamps that have been set up. The playable court has been "morphed" as in a 3D program on a computer and looks like the grounds of a rollercoaster, with heights and depths and calm and dynamic zones. The resulting paradox, which moves between a normative set of rules and pleasurable, anarchic change, requires creative engagement for its use.

It's best if you read the preceding paragraph with the appropriate accent.

Also, we can only hope that Dirk Nowitzki(notes) never sets foot on this court. We like his ankles the way they are.

The comment about Dirk's ankles was the kicker. Author was obviously a Mav's fan or something.

The court is in Germany, hence the Dirk reference.

Munich to be exact. If Dirk stepped foot on that court he'd all but assuredly bust an ankle. It'd be the biggest sports tragedy ever to happen over there.

Funny in a sad way.

Bigger than Jesse Owens?

No different than the floor at the old Boston Garden.
