That's Spo as a kitten. Nice find.

That's only classic if you know that it is a photo of a three-pointer taken with under 0.9 seconds left, to decide a super-close playoff series, and it went in, making the final score 99-98, thus taking the series 4-2. Otherwise, it's only a middling interesting photo.

I think the lillard shot is cool as shit even without the context. I like the composition a lot, the way the figures are positioned/space, there's an intensity and tension to it, and I like how the most important action is in the corner and understated. I'm sure I'm reading into it, but something about the photo itself *feels* like photo of a potentially gamewinning shot.

I think its cool as well xp. Cool that all ten players are in it

Such a bizarre moment in basketball.

No Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Parker, Ginobli, or Duncan in that photo! Pretty cool.

love tony on the bench looking like he's tasting a fine wine and about to nod approvingly

They pointed out on Deadspin I think that Kawhi didn't make that shot, he got fouled :(
