Feature: 10 Best Logos in Pro Basketball (#5)
The NBA makes it's presence felt on the top 10 list for the first time. And since BH grabs the graphic it finds in an article, I'm sure you can tell who it is already.

    I didn't vote this down, but I dislike this logo.  It looks like the ball is going through a basketball rim, but umm, there's no "net"

    wouldn't it be nice to have a net on a Nets logo?

    maybe it is just me

      Funny that... I had never thought that before!!

      As far as I know, no version of the Nets' logo has ever had a net on it before.

    Having a net in the logo would have been too much detail.  A crosshatch pattern doesn't reduce very well.  I think if someone with some photoshop skill added a net to the logo people would agree that the net would be too much.  But I think the way they handle the shield and modernized the idea is really strong.
