Ball is Life Tee (Blacktop)

Portraits of The Answer's film negative, by Eddie Otchere, peering through the ball.  In his early years, the league often viewed Iverson as a negative presence.  His braids, tattoos, baggy shorts, and his swagger, was viewed as a threat to  the integrity of the League.  A dress code was implemented by the NBA solely due to Iverson's perceived "Thug" appearance. In retrospect, and going full circle as the ball in this design depicts,  Iverson paved the foundation of individuality in the NBA, and ushered in the culture we see in the league today.   Screen Printed on 100% Cotton Custom Pigment Dyed Tees  Made in USA PRE-ORDER PRODUCT SHIPS IN 4-5 WEEKS

Practice Tee (Concrete)

"We talking about practice. Not a game. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not the game. We talking about practice, man." Often quoted but misunderstood.  What the media tried to paint, was a picture of Iverson not dedicated, being selfish,  and unwilling to attend team meetings and skipping practice.  But to the contrary, people around the league will  quickly state that he worked harder than anyone and put it all out  on the court every time he picked up the ball.  The connected dots on the design reflects footwork and dribble drills in practice.  While the three stacked images shows elevation and leveling up thru practice.  The infamous quote in full context,  was his dear childhood friend had lost his life earlier in the season,  and was simply a statement that there are things in life that are more important than a game.  Screen Printed on 100% Cotton Custom Pigment Dyed Tees  Made in USA PRE-ORDER PRODUCT SHIPS IN 4-5 WEEKS
