EPDM Rubber roof is a great seamless solution.

Caution, life span is fifteen years.
Cannot be directly exposed to UV rays or it will decay faster.
There are UV tolerant rubber roofs, but I would not use them. They dont seal very well.

After you get the roof down, put down sleepers, (2*4's on the flat....just floating there.
Build a curb around the edge to hold the entire floor from slipping or moving.
Then use the RIGHT LENGTH screws to screw decking to the sleepers.
In the case of a basketball court I would recomend possibly a redwood 1.5 inch thick deck material.

this system gives you access to the rubber within an hour or so once you unscrew all the decking.

Also Trust me here....pay up for stainless screws.
You will be able to get them out in ten years.

This system is common in the northeast for flat roof/deck systems.
We have to deal with snow and Ice which does a number on the expansion and contraction of different materials and I have found that rubber works best.

Besides that, rubber is home owner repairable with the right glue and the right rubber it is fairly simple.

You can also put concrete pavers directly over rubber (they sell a little pad that goes in between so the concrete paver does not actually touch the rubber)
