The photo isn't that good though imo

There are plenty of classic photos that aren't great as pics but are classic nonetheless.

EZ Snappin, Thursday, 25 July 2013 22:43 (twelve years ago)

yeah there's a big difference (at least to me) between capturing an awesome physical feat, and taking a great basketball photo

imo

the lighting for these old games looks like it was terrible for basketball but great for photography

Didn't know that Don Nelson was the inspiration for Chris Mullin's haircut.

Speaking of Don, his free throw technique deserves a place here:

I hate to say it, but a lot of these publicity stills and dunk contest shots just don't do it for me as classic basketball photos. Game time is where classic hoops happens.

idk man, that Clyde shot is next level.

its real tho it does look kinda like a shop, with the lighting the stadium is periodically firing strobes that the professional photographers can sync their cameras to, they do it in normal nba games too tho ive never seen the black ceiling effect like that they prob just had them tuned a lil different there
