Kirk Goldsberry a former geography professor and basketball data visualization specialist has just unleashed a new map, "Naismith International Park". Named after the inventor of basketball, it is a fantasy landscape shaped like the frontcourt of a basketball court.
I don't follow basketball very closely but I would guess that the placement of player names relates to their shot maps (covered here in a previous post).
As a 76ers fan my favorite spot is the Round Mound of Rebound.
You can purchase a copy of the map (or just admire it some more) here.

As a KU alum, you should certainly appreciate "Allen Field"!
if he's referring to the filed house and not Ray Allen then I appreciate it.
Field house, not filed house!
