Daryl Morey's portrait of James Harden (alien.top)
 

This is the wildest sports story I read today (click for an image of the "stunning" art).

Every day he walks into his home in Philadelphia, Morey looks at a life-size portrait of Harden he commissioned from Croatian artist Filip Peraić after the 2018 season. It is a stunning piece of art: Harden towering over a basketball court, his hair ablaze in oranges, reds and yellows to reflect how monstrous his offensive output had been the year he won the league's MVP award.

I haven’t ever heard this discussed in potential rule changes but I think there should be some prohibition against this, beyond just the resulting foul.
