Hoops, here and there

Basketball most nights these days. Few good ones from the last few days.

Oh, and this first one is a personal favorite. You probably know that popular Robert Capa quote: "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." I was reminded of it while shooting this game. Cramped sideline, and I had the 50mm on. Action was TIGHT. And this play happened right in front of me. Uncropped. Not only is it big and vertical (making these players look like titans), but it puts you right in this play. Like you're a part of it. I got closer, Capa.
