A licensed basketball league backglass dominated by a huge central logo: the letters NBA in tall block capitals, bright red with a thick white outline and a thin dark keyline, sitting beside the white-and-red dribbling-player silhouette badge with NBA in small blue type beneath it. Ten professional players are collaged around the logo, each cut out against a packed indoor arena: a packed red-lit crowd, blue-white spotlight rays fanning down from the top, and a varnished hardwood court with painted arcs visible behind them. Left to right: a man in a white HEAT jersey (#3) holding a ball at his hip; a tall man in a green CELTICS jersey (#5) with a green arm band, both arms raised shooting; a man in a dark red BUCKS jersey (#11) cradling a ball; a bearded man in a grey KINGS jersey (#52) with one arm up; a man in a blue DETROIT jersey (#1) with a red headband dribbling; and along the bottom a man in a yellow LAKERS jersey (#24) with a purple elbow sleeve, a man in a blue DALLAS jersey (#12) holding a ball at his chest, and a man in a black CLEVELAND jersey (#23). Every figure grips an orange basketball. The palette is red, royal blue, orange-brown and white. Photo-realistic cut-out collage over painted arena art.
