The Untold Story Behind The Most Iconic Basketball Photo

[@carlito8582]

That's the only time I heard of that Kobe actually stopped focusing on the game to listen to Jordan. Respect

[@HardDie]

The reason Kobe was so gr8, was because he had BALLS and passion. The only way you approach Jordan in a non active basketball way during a game = BALLS and Passion

[@BlackRoyalty_]

HardDie I also think if Jordan had acted like a narcissist asshole towards Kobe(like saying don't talk to me until you get a 🏆 )because Kobe was a young kid then Kobe wouldn't have looked up to Jordan in the same light. Jordan already knew at that point how much immense respect Kobe had for him over everybody in the NBA. Kobe believed he was better than everyone in the NBA 1v1 coming into the league except for his idol. I think that mentality is what made Jordan accept Kobe as a competitor on his level.

[@racewiththefalcons1]

Speaking as a professional photographer (one who has covered sports at one point), photographing basketball is extremely difficult, so the photogs deserve major props for their efforts.

[@bryanchandler3486]

What elements do you feel make it so difficult? As a non photographer I would guess the fact that it's a very fast game well at least most of the iconic photo opportunities that are action happening and a small court so you have to have really good timing to have the right composition for the shot you want

[@TWHowl]

@@bryanchandler3486 There you go, that’s it.

[@TWHowl]

I couldn’t help think the same. It makes me want to go out w a camera to try and capture a legendary moment. You never know how a single image can change the world. Such a cool concept.

[@GuillaumeRx]

@@bryanchandler3486 As a photographer myself, I can confirm you are correct in your guess, but there are even more paramaters and factors that complicate the equation. Light is everything in photography, the word itself, photography, literally means « painting »/ « writing »/« drawing » (« graphos ») with « light » (« photos ») in ancient greek. First, artifical light is often (except for maybe studio work or high quality stage light) not the best/easiest to work with. For basketball games, although the light is sufficient enough for the game to be filmed, the amount of light is not optimal (although very usable nowadays, even more so at this level). The equipment required to take good shots is rather relatively heavy and expensive (the « fastest » lenses have a larger aperture, which gathers more light, which in exchange, and by physic laws alone, and the technology available at a given time, makes the lenses larger, more expensive, and heavier). The longest focal lenghts lenses (the heavy giant bazookas that zoom super far away) are never the fastest lenses. And the relatively fast ones are even more expensive, heavy, and combursome. If you want a very fast lense that garhers the most light, usually, that lens cannot zoom (we call that a « fixed (focal length) lens »). The image quality tends to be better though, because there are less glass elements on the lens that could alter the sharpness of the omage. But that’s not the main issue, as most professional photographers would have the means and motives to get that type of equipment. The main issue to me is that, in such controlled events, you are not free to move around as you please, and the best position to take the shots could consistently be occupied by other photographers. Other factors make it harder: Despite the game moving fast, and a lot is happening on the court (as you rightfully mentionned), like any live event, you have no control over the subjects. You can’t redo the iconic moment. Make the players pause and play with the camera as you’d like. You have to be in the moment, focused, all the damn time. And anticipate a lot, because you can’t see everything throught the viewfinder of your camera. It’s very mentally challenging and exhausting. You have to know your equipment like an extension of your body for it not to get in the way of the process and slow you down. Technology available also makes it harder for some of the photos you see in the video. Photos that were taken during the film era are clearly the most impressive. Fewer shots per second could be taken at the time, except for some more recent Film Reflex Cameras from the very late 90’s and early 2000´s like the Nikon F5 for instance (which could take up to 8 film photographs per second). Fewer shots in total could be taken (assuming you didn’t bring 200 rolls of film for the game), cost was also greater, obsivously. And film sensitivity to light was way lesser than what we are currently able to produce with any average, consumer level, digital camera/sensor, which means photographers were even more technically limited to take their shots: In order to compensate for the lack of light captured by the film you were using, one would have to use the very large aperture (from the « fast » lenses I mentioned above), which means the depth of field (part of the image that is in focus) would be slimmer. The « in focus area » of the image would be slimmer, so the focus (often manual, during the film era) would be slower and harder to get. Even auto-focus lenses are more accurate and consistent at smaller apertures, but you’d need to set that lens at the largest apertures it allowed to gather that precipus light. To gather even more light, you can also let the shutter (that covers your film/sensor) open for a longer time frame. The longer your shutter is open, the more light the digital sensor or film gathers. In exchange, if the photographer moves, or the subject moves during the time the shutter is open, you would see movement blurr on the photographs, which can be an artistic choice, or ruin the photo, depending on the situation. Long exposures (shutter open for quite a long time, a second or longer), is the way we make light trails from the car lights at night, for instance). If you want a clean shot of a very fast moving object, say, a formula 1 car, and don’t want any blurr from the object moving while that shutter is open and the light touches your sensor/film, you’d have to use the fastest shutter speed available (usually 1/8000 second on most professional cameras). Problem is, if the shutter stays open for 1/8000 of a second, very few light is gathered, which means, in darker environments, your photo could be too dark, and you would not see every detail, or any. We call such phenomena « underexposition ». So you’d have to pick a large aperture (expensive and large lenses), which are harder to focus (slim depth of field) on your subject, and use a decently fast shutter speed (say 1/250 second maybe) to gather enough light to take a decently well lit shot of a basketball game, but not get blurred images from the players movements. All that to compensate for the lack of light available/gathered by your film/sensor. Plus, they didn’t have softwares to compensate for user mistakes at the time. So the room for error was even smaller... Today, the struggle would be different, but not less significant. With everyone having access to a decent camera (smartphones) and the easy access to very user friendly and super efficient technology in modern cameras, the number of photographs taken, of people who can take at least one good photograph, and the number of photographs and images we see and have access to everyday, would make your photo really harder to become iconic, or have any type of significant impact and visibility. The competition is greater, the technology makes it easier for most people, and your incredible photo could get lost in the immense depth of the internet. Still a noble quest to capture fragments of a time that’s lost forever though. That’s why I do it 😉

bro I just found your channel, and holy fuck dude... i get chills every video. The opening of this video with Jordan and Kobe had me in my feels bro, I know you always say you're young and didn't get to experience Jordan but I was just a boy when he played and shocked the world and this photo hangs in my office. Incredible coverage of all these iconic moments.

The 90’s, when the East wasn’t a complete joke

[@olgacantu4179]

[@kyleparton4610]

The East ain't a joke now

[@Siegfriedneo]

kyle parton Look at the West compared to the East. No comparison, look at the East in the past few years compared to the West. LeBron would not have made 8 straight finals if he would’ve played in the West. Also the Magic are 6-9 and 8th in the West, and to make the playoffs in the East you can have a whole losing record, or even be barely 41-41. If you were 41-41 in the West, you would not make the playoffs. The last time a Western Conference team made the playoffs with a losing record was 1997, the last time an Eastern Conference team made the playoffs with a losing record was 2015, and two playoffs teams in the East had a losing record.

[@stevennakhla7803]

Yarnball G where the mvp from, where the champs from, where the mip from, west is good but 76ers, bucks and Celtics are showing potential along with the raptors sort of

[@Siegfriedneo]

Steven Nakhla Let’s be honest, will a team from the East really win Chip this year? Over the Lakers or Clippers? East is good, but you can’t compare it to the West. Also this decade the West won 6 rings, and East won 4. Yes the MIP AND MVP are both in the East, but that doesn’t mean the East is as good as the West. Celtics, Raptors, and Bucks are definitely good, but do you really think Giannis can carry that team that lost Brogdon? Even if he makes it, we all saw what the Raptors did to him in the ECF. They held him to 22.7 p/pg and guess what? Kawhi is in the West now. Also the Celtics definitely would not be able to beat the Lakers or Clippers in the finals, and I honestly don’t think the Raptors will even make it. The Celtics would be dominated defensively by the Clippers, and would not be able to stop the Lakers offensively. So forget any Eastern conference team winning the ring

[@LT81baller]

The MJ/Kobe photo is iconic in every way possible. It shows IN MY BOOK the greatest to play the game in Michael Jordan taking the time to teach a young teenage Kobe Bryant. Not only though is it a moment to teach but a moment where Michael probably added also that "you remind me of myself when I was a rookie. But I see this fire in your eyes to be one of the best ever. You will never ever be me, but in time I am sure you'll be better than me."

Kobe Bryant, was the very definition of what it means to be truly great. The unbelievable dancing basket ball art who was Kobe Bryant, his every move was a dance of pure art at a level that makes the viewer ask himself "Am I really seeing this with my own eyes? Can this be for real that a player can be this talented and this great? You better believe it! What a rare player, and what a truly great generous man. I will miss his art, to me the greatest most gifted genius basket ball player of all time, yes even greater than M. Jordan. (you may not agree) Watching him play with his acrobatic moves and his weaving dances brought tears to my eyes of astonishment, yes he affected me that much. We fans will so miss his art and we may never see it again, not at Kobe's stupendous level. Kobe's sport of basketball was like watching a floating angel performing magic tricks with an orange bauble that somehow defied your belief. You will be moved if you watch the film about his rise to fame. RIP Kobe.
