Go Hoop Day kicks off today for the 2nd time ever with celebrations all over the U.S. Thousands of people got outside, in the gym or wherever there was a ball and a hoop to celebrate the game we all love. I was able to get out and get a few shots up but I wanted to celebrate the best way I know how to today. Thank you basketball for providing infinite inspiration. I hope my work reminds you of why you love the game.

6.13.19 - The Final Golden State Warriors Game will be played in Oakland before moving to San Francisco.
I’ve been going to watch the warriors in Oakland since Sleepy Floyd was getting buckets. I’ve cheered a last place team with Earl Boykins who would hit for 30 on a cold Wednesday night with the crowd as loud as they are watching the Finals vs. Lebron. (maybe louder). Studied Tim Hardaway’s game (my favorite player) even before RUN TMC was diagnosed. RUN TMC wasn’t together long enough. I got excited when we got the 1st draft pick and got Cwebb to join “RUN TM-Spree” - Got sad when we drafted Todd Fuller. 🤮. Was pissed when they changed the uniforms to the lightning bolt but the brand of basketball with a young Jason Richardson, GILBERT Arenas and ANTWON Jamison lit the fire for Baron Davis, matt Barnes, Stephen Jackson to make a run and open the doors to the first wave of bandwagoneers (you know who you are ) - The Monta era was full of hope but when new owners and Bob Meyers took the reigns shit got real. Can’t thank Bob enough for architecting the Splash Bros and then Hampton’s 5.
Even living through our current day dynasty, the games most remembered are sellouts against the nuggets just to yell at an old Bimbo Coles and Mark Price. We earned this dynasty.
It’s gonna be the same after today. The makeup of the fans and culture on there east bay shaped the character of this team. Thanks for creating one of the most iconic culturally relevant sports teams ever. Now don’t go and get bourgois on us. Forever Town Business #fuckgentrification
A new mural installed at Boys Don't Cry in NY, in honor of The NBA Finals. As in all of my work, a level of detail and authenticity is what inspired the latest work. Located on The Lower East Side’s iconic Orchard St. I wanted to make sure that I was able to convey the neighborhood, the people, shops and culture that presided before today. See how many people you can identify.
Also be sure to check out the other NBA Finals inspired works are also on display throughout The summer.
For the art collectors out there I created one, 57’ X 57” Original Digital Illustration is available here
