Nba courts are made from Acer Saccharum also known as hard maple. It is harder than most woods and lighter in color. They use hard maple,so the floor won't crack of the weight of 10 players running and jumping on it. The Boston Celtics use red wood. The hard maple has been the same since 1931. The rubber underneath the hard maple floors prevents dents in the floor and helps reduce strain on players running back and forth.




Do these floors cause knee injuries?


Do you think all highschool gyms should have these types of wooden floors?


Do you think they will develop these floors more in the future.

    I think that it is interesting that there is so much that goes into floors. I didn't know that there were different types of floors that help with knees and jumping. -Lilly Pearson

    I think that they should try and use these floors in other places too, like high schools. This could maybe help prevent injuries. - Fagan O'Connor

    I think the floors would be way more developed in the future because there are to many people now getting hurt on the type of floors that we have now. These floors are more hard and it will hurt you badly so they are most likely to change in the future. -Anadia Phillips

    I'm sure this not only benefits players, but in the long run it would be less expensive becasue of the lowered cost in medical expense. Landry s.

    From the amount of basketball courts that are put in schools, this could be impacting deforestation. A different type of material could be used for basketball courts to make them softer and so trees don't have to be cut down. - Tori Favazza

    I'm sure that if the NBA thinks this floor is better for players they will start replacing them. If that happens that's going g to be alot of construction and carbon created.

    I think the new floor sounds super efficient and more places should start to switch.

    I think the floors do have an effect on the players because of the grip and how fast they run, they can slip, but if it the right type of fllor. then they will have grip.

    I think the floors do have an affect because the floor will grip onto your shoes and then that can control how fas they can drive.

    It seems like these floors try to help players not get as hurt as they could get on other floors.
