This image comes from twitter, but was posted by LeBron James and Jayson Tatum on Instagram. This photo drew me in because it shows LeBron James, an all-time NBA great, and Tatum, who is in the younger generation of stars at just 23-years-old. Tatum grew up watching and idolizing many players and LeBron was one of them. In this image, they are posing in pretty much the same position and are almost mirroring each other. James is arguably the best player ever, but he won’t be around for too much longer. Whereas Tatum will be playing for years to come, so one day this photo will be looked back on as the time these two were locked in an epic battle against each other.
This image comes from Getty Images. I like this picture because it is an action shot and is well balanced. I don’t really know any context behind this picture like who these players are and how good they are and other logistics, however just as a general sports fan, I would want this put on a poster because the shot was taken with every subject mid action.
This photo also comes from Getty Images, from the same game as the previous photo pictured above. I like this photo because, again, it is an action shot and is catching interesting/unusual facial expression that nobody would ever really see close up. I also liked the aperture of the picture, as the only things not blurred in the photo are the two players and the ball in the foreground, drawing my eye to the action.
