Description
A photographin image of a moment of simultaneous flight as three men's basketball players leave the ground at once. Number 30 rises with purpose, releasing a jump shot, while number 43 elevates alongside him in support of the attempt. A third player lunges skyward in a desperate bid to block the shot. Above it all, the stadium ceiling lights blur softly into the background, lending the image a sense of soaring height and suspended motion.
