For Project Backboard co-founder Dan Peterson, that disconnect sparked a vision that has since evolved into a decade-long mission of restoring basketball courts as vibrant, artful community spaces. “In 2015, I was walking through parks in Memphis and noticing the lack of court lines,” Peterson recalls. “Meanwhile, I was also seeing photos of the Pigalle court in Paris with those caricatures of celebrities.
