Very weird to see a car suspended over the court. Some kind of promotion.

At least it's up in the rafters ΓÇö few years ago (and maybe still), the Texas Legends suspended a pickup truck over the court, low enough that it looked like a long pass up the court might hit it.

Isaac Pearson is the only one who could hit the car today.
