I'm recreating the NBA Logo for every team. Here's Cleveland, featuring likely #1 pick Kyrie Irving

Whats up Cavs fans? I'm a writer/illustrator over at Bright Side of the Sun and am currently doing a project where I am doing 30 illustrations (1 player from each of the 30 NBA teams) over 30 days. Day 17 features your own Antawn Jamison and I thought I'd share it with you.

Feel free to visit and check out this and more as well as follow the project. Comments are welcome and appreciated.

Question: Does his brain have enough space to take all those "mental notes"?

Dear Cleveland,

When I came to this country 14 years ago, I was a young man who barely spoke the language and had no idea what to expect of this great country. As I look back on those early days, I realize how lucky I was to have grown up in Cleveland. All of you have taught me the importance of family and friends; of pulling together to get things done; of loving your country. I've never felt as proud as when I've pulled on the Wine and Gold and stepped onto the court. I've tried my best to return that support by playing as hard as I could each and every game. The decision to play for Miami was not an easy one to make for either myself or my family. But as I enter the last few years of my career, I felt I owed it to myself and my family to chase my dream of winning an NBA championship. I hope you understand. I also hope you realize Cleveland will always be home to me.

With love and appreciation, Zydrunas "Z" Ilgauskas.

I recently wrote an article about Lebron James and legacies... so just for the hell of it I decided to run it through the site Wordle and this is what popped out. Pretty interesting how a jumble of words can sum up a story so well.
