His Airness, rising above the statues
Frozen in Awe
The gazing fan’s thunderous applause
Flying through the air
Time slows down,
THE MOMENT
Hovering toward the basket
Tongue out
Eyes open wide, locked onto the target
His face, poised with determination
Outstretched limbs
The orange globe in his palm
Throwing it down
Witnessing His Airness, gliding in the sky
Sea of red ecstatic,
Jumping, waving, screaming
Flashes blind the arena
REALITY
Just another game
Witnessing His Airiness,
JUST DOING IT

What really inspired me was Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls. I wanted to portray the intensity of a split second in a basketball game.
