The NBA finals have already taken a thrilling turn. The hype is shooting through the roof with the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder locking horns with each other. Moreover, in what was a stunner, it was the Pacers who took the W 111-110 to lead 1-0. And while the tensions of whether the Thunder can counter the Pacers’ team effort are rising, some good news is coming for the hardcore fans.
Back in the day, the NBA Finals had a giant logo. The logo read ‘The Finals’ and was featured on the court to add a special touch to the games. However, over the past decade, the use of the logo fell off, and soon, it went out of use. However, looking back at the practice, Adam Silver thinks that bringing it back might be a good option. After all, everybody loves a hint of nostalgia.
“I’m nostalgic… it’s nice when you’re looking back on highlights and they stand out because you see that trophy logo or some other indication that it’s a special event. So, we’ll look at it,” Silver told a small group of reporters during an NBA Cares charity event at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County.
