If you love to sit courtside, cheer for your favorite team on TV, or like to shoot hoops yourself, basketball brings people together in many different ways. When we saw the NBA is celebrating their 73rd anniversary, we wanted to show off how artists showcase this sport on canvas.

Invented in 1891, basketball was first created as a way to help athletes stay in shape during the colder months. What started as a game of throwing balls through fruit baskets became a well-liked sport in high schools and colleges by 1905 – with only slight changes to the original rules. With such humble beginnings, it amazes us how widespread it’s become. From dribbling around your driveway to joining a league for some 2-on-2, it’s clear this sport is widely enjoyed by many. No matter if you appreciate the comradery, the rush of excitement on the stands, or the thrill of making a “nothing but net” shot, our mix of artwork can help you bring your love of the game to your space.

Ranging from a father and son dunking duo to Wonder Woman running down the court, this curation combines the popular pastime with a mix of relatable and unexpected themes. Whether you want to see an astronaut athlete, a baller Lola Bunny, or how a hoop hangs throughout the seasons, these prints are a mix of classic feels and fun twists.

This collection of art has something for every type of basketball fan. No matter if you prefer touches of neon, eye-catching abstracts, or aerial photography, keep scrolling to find a basketball print you think is a slam dunk.
