Or woo Slip ‘n Slide as the main sponsor instead of Reese’s.

In reply to AMurawa. How about just repaint the floor in those areas? I'm sure it costs money, but so does everything else. Just charge the advertisers more. Either that or have some player tear up his knee on the Reese's sticker 1000x replayed on Sportscenter highlights for a week.

I just can’t imagine that Reese’s or 2K Sports or whoever the hell else is slapping these stickers on these courts can think that watching basketball players slip and slide (and eventually injure themselves at some point) all over their advertisements is a good marketing plan…

I was at Sprint Center last night, and the decal issue was brought up in the RTC live chat. Monday night, they didn’t factor in, but Tuesday was a different story. As long as companies are willing to throw the money out there, I don’t see stickers going anywhere. However, I’m no engineering expert, but they need to find a different material that’ll prevent slipping while still providing a natural court feel.
