Bench seats need to be bigger (alien.top)

Why are the bench seats made for regular dudes?

I'm watching the Knicks vs Suns game and poor KD has his knees at his damn chin? Why don't they have tall-people seats? Guys make millions and still sit like plebs on the sideline, why?

Part of the reason is because the courtside real estate adjacent to the bench is extremely expensive/valuable. If a byproduct of enlarging the player’s seating resulted in losing even a single courtside seat, the missed revenue over a season would be pretty significant. And billionaire owners tend to care about bottom line more than you’d think

I get why they have them, but I always feel odd about there being courtside seats between the player's benches and the scorer's table. Just feels a little too close.
