Best and Worst practice facilities in NBA

[Black Jack]

Spurs facility looks like the NBA Ballrooms practices from the Pandemic bubble.

This low ceiling actually really sucks.

The Magic are building a $500m entertainment center in between the Arena and training facility.

Yeah, once the city agrees to pay for 90% of it, just like everything else the Magic do. They've been "building" that thing for years. Here's a shot of the amazing progress they've made:

I believe it's the tourist tax that pays for it.

The Suns one is actually insane, all the tech and attention to detail - very impressive. Here's a a tour if anyone is interested.

The Magic's looks just as good. Bobby Marks had a video last week where he ranked Orlando's #1.

No, the tourist tax is going to other things, such as making the Citrus Bowl suck slightly less (always a worthwhile endeavor, or so they think.) The Magic were supposed to pay for this, which is why it still hasn't gotten built over a decade later. Now they've forced the city to offer them an incentive package. The Magic wanted tourist tax money to renovate the arena, but they were denied (I wonder why.)

The Rockets should have told Texas they were a high school football team then they could have gotten a plush practice facility.

Nice find. Thanks for sharing.

I'm curious as to why a lot of these teams have practice facilities so far from the actual game arena. Wouldn't it be more convenient to just have it like in same complex/district?

I can't speak for any of the other teams, since I don't know their logistics, but the Suns' practice facility is in a very upscale area — right where most of these players live. The arena is downtown, right in the center of the valley.
