NBA 75 Illustration


Something I’ve been working on for a year and a half. Initially wanted to have it done for the 75th anniversary at All Star Weekend, but got humbled quickly when I realized the scope of what I was trying to accomplish.

  1. Really cool picture! I spent 5 minutes looking at trying to find all my favorite players.

  2. The best image just happens to be my favorite player, whaddya know : ). Amazing

  3. This is awesome, fantastic work

    Very small nitpick – there seems to be very little reason or rhyme as to the placement of the players

    Imho an artwork should tell a story. One way to do this would be with the placement of the players in the artwork, to give a broad overview of what happened in the NBA throughout the decades

    Something like

    Upper: the 80’s and earlier, Lakers-Celtics rivalry

    Middle: the 90’s, Jordan’s Bulls fending off challengers

    Middle-lower: the 00’s, the last era of great big men

    Lower left and lower right: the 10’s and beyond, trend of forming superteams and the proliferation of 3 point shooting
