looking at that, i am a bit concerned about their ankles in those low-top shoes
― Treeship, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 20:05 (twelve years ago)
the background is what really makes that one pop imo, the way the crowd is this blurry blued mass and the players are extra sharp in the foreground.

I think the Hawks player is Butch Beard.

With all those fans in the seats, I'm thinking that first pic must have been taken in the playoffs.

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
