This collection of photos is a study of basketball. By concentrating on feet, I am reminded of the beautiful motions usually associated with ballet. And while neither Ken and Pwoider are neither basketball's answer to Barishnikov, I did come out with some interesting photos....
Ken - sponsored by Nike Free.
Pwoider - sponsored by Nike Flight.
Ken - "Motion"
Pwoider - "Momentum"
Ken - "En Pointe"
Pwoider - "Shifting"
Ken - "Thing of Beauty Jumper"
Pwoider - "Falling J"
Ken - "Airborne 2 inches off the ground"
Pwoider - "Textbook Layup (as far as the feet will tell)"

photos look real dope.. i like "shifting" especially. as if that couldn't be a nike print ad
ps: it's plain to see i have the more aesthetically pleasing feet/legs (especially having relatively hairless legs!!). case in point for pwoid's mutant looking calves: last and 3rd last photo!

They both have some pretty gnarly looking scars, chicks may dig it but I'm not a huge fan. But then again, my knees and elbows are pretty shattered as well.

hahaha oh joel I just saw a trio of performances by all the best up-and-coming dancers of the paris ballet school (the oldest was 14, it was almost unbelievable because they seemed so maturely controlled) and now I come back to this post by you, what perfect timing :p ken and pwoid are old grandpas in comparison to the ages that I just saw though..

yeah they did! but they're so sheer, their butts just look nekkid and reaaally white from behind. I think they must wear like, cups over their penises. otherwise the sudden lack of detail in front makes no sense
