Basketball-inspired art is the best kind of art because it successfully merges two things that you didn’t think would go well together, like Joakim Noah at a subway station waiting for a train or Jae Crowder holding a weapon.

Check out this “big four” series from LA-based artist Jack Perkins (@purehoop):

THE PACK: Watch yourself, NBA. The pack’s getting stronger in Minnesota.

Too cold for KG.

 

LOCKDOWN: Golden State just put the association on lockdown.

Watch out for them sharks, Super Team.

 

TO THE ZEN GARDEN: Knirvana awaits…

The Other Super Team.

 

WALK OF GAME: The Future is starting to look bright in LA.

D’Angelo Russell and Brandon Ingram got the McCartney-Lennon treatment, so you know it’s going to be a fun season for the Lakers.

 

BOSTON BASKETBALL: Gang Green.

Jae Crowder channeling his inner Sting (the wrestler, tito, not the singer).

Aside from transforming teams to everyday heroes, Perkins also designs shirts. Add items to your cart here.
