Nike's always looking to push the boundries of sport through innovative technology. As part of Nike's "RISE" campaign in China, the Swoosh unveiled a truly revolutionary LED basketball court, named the "House of Mamba" that could change the way we look at traditional courts.

The court is complete with in-floor LEDs that allow players to interact with the lights and is capable of displaying training drills and programs to follow that responds to players' mistakes and displays performance stats. The new design could completely change the landscape of courts currently being built as it keeps players engaged and basically turns the floor into a video game where your the main character. The floor doesn't only display training drills but can showcase the score, game clock, as well as some incredibly funky graphics and artwork.

Kobe was on hand to to witness the debut of the new court and was completely blown away by the possibilities. "My first experience on the LED floor, it’s pretty uhhh ... I didn’t even know that was possible," Kobe told Lakers Nation. "It’s amazing what can be done nowadays. I think the potential and possibilities for the floor are endless."
