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

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

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.

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.
