Created with soft pastels on museum-quality, heavyweight, acid-free sanded pastel
paper, this work depicts a young boy standing before a mural of Michael Jordan
performing his iconic “switch hand” layup from Game 2 of the 1991 NBA Finals. Sunlight
from the front casts the boy’s shadow back toward the mural, linking his dream to
Jordan’s legacy. He clenches a small orange basketball to his chest, symbolizing
determination, while looking down at a larger, weathered ball inscribed with “6–5–91,”
“Lakers vs Bulls,” “Switch Hand Layup,” “6 Rings,” “THE GOAT,” “33 Points,” and “Game
2,” preserving the historic moment. In his left hand, he holds a Carolina blue jersey,
honoring Jordan’s college years, and by the laces, a pair of original Jordan 1 sneakers
in red, white, and black, representing the global cultural impact Jordan made beyond
the court, changing the landscape of sports marketing and athlete branding forever.
