    Looks like you had fun! I noticed they all have Golden State with the ball. Did they let you switch sides during halftime? Birdman is sure starting to look like the new Rodman!!

    Nice work. I was bummed that when I shot Denver, Birdman did not play.

    I like the arm placement for Denver's #7 on pic 3.

    Is pic 5 a trampoline dunk?

    It's nice to know that we use similar settings when shooting the NBA. I checked your EXIF data and was happy to know that we both shoot near f/2.8 and a high ISO.

    Thanks for sharing your photos!

    I like the eyes in #3, as well as the arm/hand placement.

    The expression in #5, as well as the pose, is really great.

    The balance between #7 and #2 is very different, I had to go back and check the shirt number to be sure it was the same player!
    How do you manage that, with the light varying around the court?

    Thanks, #7 & #2 were taken with different cameras and lenses. D3s vs D3 and 70-200 vs 24-70. The only thing that I can think of.
