Why did the NBA stop putting the Larry O'Brien Trophy sticker on the court?

[no pun intended]

During the NBA Finals. I have always loved the way it looked. Reminds the players what they're fighting for essentially.

No clue. I liked it a lot. Hopefully Silver can bring it back

It was too big. Looked like shit, imo. Also don't those stickers get more slippery compared to not having a giant, ugly ass, sticker?

Don't know the reason tho.

wayyyyy too contemporary for me

im cool with the simple Nba finals sticker they threw on in the 90's

I'm reading it maybe due to players complaining about the logo obscuring the halfcourt line...but I'm not buying it.

I liked the big model of the trophy, and the players stood on it during the lineup announcements

I like the 16 trophies/numbers or whatever along the announcer's table which teams cross out one after each victory. Do we still have that?
