October 24, 2008, Newsletter Issue #370: Building a Basketball Court - NBA Size Basketball Court Dimensions
Tip of the Week
The correct dimensions of an NBA size basketball court are summarized below from the NBA rules, Section 1. First, the basketball court should measure 94 feet from baseline to baseline and 50 feet from sideline to sideline. The halfcourt line should be marked in the middle, 47 feet from either baseline. The ‘jump circle' at halfcourt must have a 2 foot radius and be surrounded by a second circle that has a 6 foot radius. From each baseline, measure 18 feet and 10 inches to mark your free throw line and the length of the ‘lane', which should measure 16 feet total width. For further information about basketball court dimensions, check out a free copy of the NBA Rules & Guidelines.
