for $125,000<\/a>. If you\u2019re the hardest of die-hard 1990s NBA fans \u2014 and you have a few hundred feet of spare space at your crib \u2014 this is your chance to shoot your shot.<\/p>\n\u201cWe figured if we put it on Facebook Marketplace someone local here will get to buy it,\u201d said Michael Beram, whose dad, Tony, bought the floor 30 years ago. \u201cThat would be cool to have someone local have it.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is where you might expect to learn this piece of floor has had some long, strange trip. But truth is, it has just been chilling quietly in the Valley these many years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the elation of the 139-112 win for the Western Conference, the Suns were ready to get rid of the game floor. The plan was to paint over that rad mid-\u201990s logo and offer the floor to a local high school.<\/p>\n
Then Tony Beram, the owner of Western States Ticket Services and avid Phoenix sports fan, came in and offered to take it off their hands. Beram is a lifelong memorabilia collector. He has tickets from the Arizona Diamondbacks\u2019 victorious 2001 World Series, the Suns\u2019 memorable runs to the 1993 and 2021 NBA Finals, and concert tickets, via eBay, from Elvis Presley and Beatles concerts. Still, the basketball court stands out amid Beram\u2019s collection, even when it has been collecting dust in storage.<\/p>\n

The original floor from the 1995 NBA All-Star Game is up for sale after being in storage for decades.<\/p>\n
Michael Beram, who is 26, wasn\u2019t alive when his dad purchased the floor. As a kid, he always saw the floor in a huge, 14-piece stack of 4-foot-by-8-foot slabs. Only an old Polaroid gave him an idea of what the enormous puzzle looked like in its full glory.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrowing it, we always just saw it there, just stacked up on each other,\u201d Michael Beram said. For decades, he said, his family \u201cnever really had any desire to pull it out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that he\u2019s older \u2014 and a huge Phoenix sports fan \u2014 Michael Beram wanted to see the floor in its full glory. So six months ago, the father and son took it out of the garage of their central Phoenix home and put it together. Each of the pieces weighs a couple hundred pounds and required six adults to move. Once it was assembled, they got to admire the classic logo and floor that Barkley, Pippen and Shaq hooped on.\u00a0It\u2019s not the entire floor, but it is the size of a small studio apartment.<\/p>\n
At first, the Berams thought they\u2019d place the floor down in their new shop Cactus Coin and Metals, on 3rd Avenue and McDowell Road, down the street from Tony Beram\u2019s bright green ticket reseller. They figured the vintage game-used floor would be a cool attraction for customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But to make that plan work, they\u2019d have to cut the floor into pieces. That felt sacrilegious. Instead, they thought someone else might have \u201ca better use for it than we did,\u201d Michael Beram said. (This means you, sports bar owners and midlife-crisis Scottsdale millionaires.)<\/p>\n
Since listing the floor for sale, the Berams have fielded a couple of serious offers. One buyer was interested in using the flooring for their half-court home gym. Another wanted to put the floor down in a sports complex with a bunch of basketball courts.<\/p>\n
So far, though? The floor remains, like an opening tip, very much up for grabs. Before the Berams take the step of offering the artifact to an auction house, they\u2019re keeping it posted on Marketplace alongside the usual used housewares and secondhand clothes and thirdhand cars. They\u2019re hoping, after all, that the floor will stay local \u2014 and remain a net win for the Valley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The original floor from the 1995 NBA All-Star Game is up for sale after being in storage for…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":287645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5131],"tags":[5229,5643,1587,1589,1721,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-287644","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phoenix","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-arizona","10":"tag-az","11":"tag-phoenix","12":"tag-phoenix-suns","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115340941327216424","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
