Asur Misoa's illustrated interpretation of first-round NBA playoff matchups
Following one of the greatest regular seasons statistically in NBA history, teams are gearing up to make a championship run, as the playoffs are officially here.
French comic book artist Asur Misoa has started a trend over the past few years by depicting the first-round matchups with creative illustrations.
Misoa's artistry stems from the teams' mascots, putting a fun, cartoon-like twist on the pairings.
Take a look:
Celtics vs. Bulls
Cavaliers vs. Pacers
Clippers vs. Jazz
Raptors vs. Bucks
Rockets vs. Thunder
Spurs vs. Grizzlies
Warriors vs. Blazers
Wizards vs. Hawks
Kendrick Lamar's 'Humble' is the perfect theme song for the 2017 NBA playoffs
The NBA playoffs have a history of iconic theme songs, from “Roundball Rock” when the games were shown on NBC, to the ABC/ESPN era with Pitbull chanting “PLAYOFFS” in a remix of “Timber” with Kesha. This year’s playoffs theme song is (objectively) a lot better than what’s been in played in years’ past: you’ll be hearing Kendrick Lamar’s “Humble” a lot for the next two months. It’s a cleaner version, given that it’s on broadcast television, but having that song be the theme is an automatic win for the NBA.
It’s also a huge win for Lamar, as his new album DAMN. (which “Humble” is its lead single) was released on Friday, unless you’re LeBron James and got it a few days before everyone else did. Also, DAMN. is, well, a damn good album, and you should listen to it if you have the chance.
