Nathaniel Butler: Courtside, Gebunden

Klappentext

40 years of stunning basketball photography-both on the court and off-from the photographer who has defined the visual soul of the NBA.

As one of the National Basketball Association's premier photographers, Nathaniel S. Butler hasn't just witnessed history; he's captured its DNA. From the gravity-defying grace of Michael Jordan and the precision of Kobe Bryant to the championship reign of Steph Curry and the arrival of Victor Wembanyama, Butler has held a front-row seat to the league's most transformative era.

Courtside: 40 Years of NBA Photography is a spectacular monograph spanning the first four decades of Butler's illustrious career. Moving beyond the high-speed action of the hardwood, this collection offers a rare, intimate look at the legends behind the jerseys.

It features iconic game-winners, like Ray Allen's corner three, alongside quiet, behind-the-scenes portraits of the NBA50 and NBA75 teams and the titans who built the modern game-from Bill Russell to LeBron James.

More than just a sports book, Courtside is a cultural history of the NBA's rise to global dominance. Featuring exclusive commentary from basketball icons across generations-including Patrick Ewing , Steph Curry , Jeremy Lin , and Victor Wembanyama-this is the ultimate insider's perspective for fans, historians, and photography enthusiasts alike.

Both a stunning visual centerpiece and an intimate record of sporting history, Courtside is the definitive volume for anyone who lives and breathes the culture of the NBA.
