If you are celebrating with fans from other teams, keeping the decor orange and black and focuses on the basketball itself is a great way to host playoff parties or NBA championship games.

If you are all fans of the same team (or the little birthday boy or girl has a favorite team or player), throw in your favorite colors! In my home, that would definitely be Black and Red (Go Trailblazers!)
