I saw the NBAI YouTube clip of Silver and Wemby doing some demo. I don't have a thorough understanding of its capabilities and functions, but from the surface, I agree with you that it is quite gimmicky and would probably fail miserably. I could be wrong and this could become the future of sports viewing, but from what I saw, I find it to be nothing but a gimmick.
I thought the LED court was only good for festivities like the all star events and for special effects when players enter the court in the beginning of the game. One practical use I can think of is its capability to change courts (lines in particular) without having to rework the flooring. You can change from an NBA court to a WNBA court to a volley ball court to a dodge ball court etc etc in an instant. That saves time and labor. But please don't put any live effects on the court during a game like what they did in the celebrity game; it just cause confusion and make the game very messy to watch.
Good analysis. It's fun for special events but not an actual game.
As for the AI, someone posted another video where you can scan yourself and put yourself into the highlight as one of the players. That's cool for a novelty. I could definitely see people using that a lot on social media with clips of themselves dunking on other people. I guess that is good for keeping NBA constantly top of mind but I am not sure how this enhances viewer experience. I am not going to watch a game with myself as Lebron James. Maybe some people will though.

Catering to narcissism and the desire to show results without putting in the work. Not my cup of tea.

Yes, Seems a little dystopian as well. Put on a headset and AI will let you simulate any life you want.
