"The basketball courts are designed with a diamond-pattern I saw while researching artist Pablo Picasso’s paintings of the Harlequin: a comedic, multi-faceted character, usually masked and dressed in diamond-patterned outfits, featured in his works. 

As a former scholar-athlete, professional basketball player and currently a fulltime visual artist I choose this pattern to commemorate those individuals, who like the Harlequin were showman. They inspired me to be more than I imagined what was expected of me."
