How does a Rocket's fan spend 335 hours painting a rival team's Rudy Gobert? GOOD question..... The hometown team Utah Jazz were simply kicking ass! Not to mention being just so damn likeable. Seeing them face adversity and fight their way to the playoffs last season when the world had written them off was INSPIRING. Rudy has been a huge reason for their success and I dont care what anyone says....

From a DR3AMer who grew up watching Rockets basketball with her older brother (who owned every piece of Olajuwon gear ever released) it was only right that I pay homage to the legend and paint the DR3AM Hakeem, himself. What was always an idea that hadnt yet come to fruition, eventually stopped me in my tracks last season at a Rockets game. I  never imagined stepping into a room unexpectedly seeing Hakeem extend his hand out to shake mine and especially never DR3AMED that he would ask me about my art. Words simply cannot describe the feeling I felt on that day. As I always say, time and time again.... FOLLOW YOUR DR3AMS!!

The 2018 playoffs truly captured my undivided attention as we watched Bron leave his entire heart on the court each night. Doing the unimaginable...somehow surpassing his highlights from the game before. The world witnessed true grit and dedication as he put it all on the line, night after night. HOW? It was then I knew it was important I capture that intense LeBron focus on a life-size canvas. That focus that we witnessed as he stood on the free throw line staring up at the basket, tunnel vision, somehow calm and collected amid flashing lights and unruly fans. That gripping moment, seconds before the final buzzer that could change everything. That profound, intensive stare is my favorite. The stare that always makes me wish I knew what on earth could be running through a player’s mind. 

We may never know the inner workings of the King's psyche, but I hope that this piece takes you back to those very special moments that I love so much- so that you too, can feel just as moved by it as I was.

A coldblooded marksman.

No one has done it more ways, from MORE places, with more numbing consistency and accuracy than Wardell Stephen Curry II. Ever. 

He makes shots others wouldn't ever think of taking...and he’ll do it with flair. 

His shots defy the laws of gravity. The greatest shooter of all time.

The only unanimous MVP. 

From the moment Curry steps on the court, everything changes. For the opposition, fear enters the body.

Stephen Curry changed basketball. It will never be what it was before he arrived. Why conform when you can INNOVATE? 

The poker-faced assassin strikes casually when you least expect it. Never underestimate the power of his stoic stare. A relaxed demeanor shows no threat but he is calculating how to dance circles around you with a smile. Before you ever have a chance to set up- One blink…. Game over.
