To a lot of us, NBA stars are the closest thing we get to superheroes.
They soar through the air, block devastating offense with their bare hands, and are among the few people who actually have the muscular, athletic builds we associate with our favorite comic book heroes.
So it isn’t quite the leap one might think to mash up popular superheroes and NBA jerseys — which is exactly what NBA graphic designer Mikey Halim did on his Instagram.
Halim, who works not only with the NBA but also FIBA and other high-profile sporting clients, put together a host of such crossovers for our entertainment, including one for the Boston Celtics.
While there’s too many to show them all, the Celtics Wire decided to share some of the more impressive ones — so let’s take a look.
Atlanta Hawks crossed with Falcon
San Antonio Spurs crossed with Batman
Toronto Raptors crossed with Hawkeye
