Hoop years

Here’s a photo illustration I did for Gilbert Garcia’s excellent rumination on the double-edged sword that the media wields against the Spurs: When they win, they’re “experienced” and when they lose, “too old.” The illo was finished before Game 4, and I probably would have come up with something a little more supportive and less utterly depressing (although I still think it’s funny that an aged Duncan looks like Morgan Freeman). 

Here’s hoping that tonight’s game goes well for the Spurs so our city doesn’t have worse self-esteem issues. Go Spurs Go!
