Frequently Asked Questions

What are the official NBA court dimensions?

An official NBA basketball court measures 94 ft long by 50 ft wide. These are the standard full-court dimensions used in the NBA.

How far is the NBA three-point line?

The NBA three-point line is 23 ft 9 in from the center of the basket along the arc. The straight portions of the line are 3 ft from the sidelines.

How far is the NBA free-throw line?

The NBA free-throw line is 15 ft from the plane of the face of the backboard. This is the official free-throw distance for NBA courts.

What is hoop overhang, and why does it matter on an NBA-style court?

Hoop overhang is the distance from the baseline or endline to the front face of the backboard. It matters because the exact hoop position affects how the lane area and other markings should be placed. Swish can adapt the layout to your exact hoop model so the court looks right and plays right.

Can I build a custom NBA-style basketball court?

Yes. Swish can build NBA-style courts in full size or custom smaller dimensions. This is ideal for homes, private facilities, schools, and entertainment spaces where you want the visual style and feel of an NBA court in a layout that fits your available area.

Can Swish match the court layout to my hoop model?

Yes. Swish can adjust the court markings to your exact hoop model and overhang so the lines are positioned correctly. This is especially important when accuracy around the basket is a priority.

Which Swish tile series is best for an NBA-style basketball court?

All three series are excellent for basketball. We usually recommend Large Elite Tiles because their large-sized design simplifies assembly and creates a premium court appearance. Elastic Tiles are an excellent value option with great elasticity, while Elite Tiles are ideal for commercial or public-use projects.

Can I add custom colors, logos, and other sports lines to an NBA-style court?

Yes. Customers can choose custom tile colors, add 1 logo at no extra cost, and include multiple sports line markings on the same court. This is ideal for customers who want a highly personalized court design.

How do Swish basketball court tiles install, and what kind of base do I need?

Swish tiles install like a large puzzle and are DIY-friendly. The base should be solid and stable, such as concrete, pavers, or another properly prepared hard surface. Grass is not suitable. The tile pads underneath help improve shock absorption, elasticity, sound reduction, durability, and minor surface leveling.
