Basketball has long proven to inform and inspire works of art across generations. This publication serves as a journey to further understand basketball not only as a physical activity played between a series of lines, but to see the game outside of those lines through the wider lens of art. One hope is to advance the idea that both artists and athletes have more in common than one might believe, and in doing so further disseminate the idea that creativity is not exclusive to just one type of person. Over 100 leading artists, such as Keith Haring, John Baldessari, Robert Indiana, Andy Warhol, Robert Longo, Ai Weiwei, Barkley L. Hendricks.
