also, I think it was Toronto I remember watching in the playoffs this yr. where they had a "Raptors" sign right in front of the stanchion, I personally think that should have been a fineable offense and thought the opposing team(Brooklyn) had every right to force them to move those.
Unless you're speaking of something new I missed, I'm pretty sure that's an optical illusion. That's just paint done slanted so it looks 3-d from a distance.
like I said I wasn't exactly sure what team it was but I thought it was Toronto that had a sign in front of the stanchions at both ends of the court.
i'm pretty sure this was just for the playoffs and not regular season games.

it was Toronto.
I'm not sure if I'm missing your sarcasm or missing something obvious, but that thing's not really 3-D man. Notice how Livingston runs over it at about :18.
Yeah that Raptors sign has been there for a while...
It's an optical illusion setup perfectly for the cameraman on tv, and apparently a very good one. It's just painted and actually looks really weird when your standing on the court.
