Is this the coolest in-game photo ever taken?

Definitely this. Not even a contest. Vince Carter over Weiss comes close, Lebron to Wade is also great

Some people clearly don’t take into consideration the concept of aesthetics in photography, like composition and colour. Once you factor this in, the only one really better than the OP pick is probably the Lebron one.

Some of them aren’t even cool without the context and some others are just off in terms of composition.

Like the Jordan vs the Jazz one could well be “the coolest moment taken on picture”, but it doesn’t make it a cool picture. The picture itself is actually “meh” and doesn’t give you emotion without the context.

There were a few entitled NBA players and media that really tried to push the Delly is dirty bull for a while. Turns out it was players flopping or not willing to compete, and he has never made a dirty play in his life. The players and media who said it really need to be called out.

Delly received more hate for diving on the floor for loose balls and challenging veteran players with hustle than Draymond got for repeatedly blasting other players in the nuts.

The dude was so drained after giving 150% effort on every play chasing Curry around in the Finals he had to get IVs after the game. I mean cmon, how can you hate that guy.

Hes a freaking legend and its about time this board wised up to it.

This one is not the most beautiful in game photo ever. It's more of a great moment captured in picture -but still.

The Reignman doing the Jumpman dunk in front of/above the original Jumpman.

or maybe a few seconds later when he's standing over him.

1994 playoffs - MJ was retired and Scottie was carrying the team and the Knicks were peaking....

That Dr J photo is great tho!

Not sure if this is the coolest, but one of my favorites.

Yeah I really don't get why people are acting like that Jordan vs the Jazz picture is a great pic. It's an amazing moment, but it's noisy and the first thing I thought when I saw it was "WTF am I supposed to look at?" There's way too much going on in the background. And even then, it's not a particularly dynamic shot and if you just saw it on someone's wall and was not a NBA fan, I don't think the picture would be considered impressive.

Now that MJ photo from the side in the dunk contest where it looks like he's floating? Yeah that's a nice shot.

Spoiler:

Personally I"m more of a fan of this picture when it comes to LeBron. There's a tremendous amount of tension in the picture, which is something lacking in the famous Wade/Bron alleyoop picture.

Wade's expression and body language is what puts it over the top. The sheer confidence that LeBron is putting it in the hole not one doubt in his mind.
