in re 10, I generally love basketball photos where it's all dark in the background and there's one bright flash

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 (ten years ago) link

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

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:

four square ups... no punches thrown (Spottie), Monday, 20 February 2023 15:58 (one year ago) link

where is that picture from? looks like a magazine? a friend of my dad’s once saw kareem board the subway and fold his legs up out of the way and have a seat when he was still a high school player. he knew who he was because he was a sports nut even then and read the high school and college preview magazines. i sent him this pic and he said yep, that looks like him

My favorite basketball photos are those with the deep focus crowds shots during a pivotal moment in the game. No one is posing and every face tells a story.
