Why fight? Wouldn’t it be easier if people helped each other? Think for a minute how much easier would it be to this fellow to score a point. In the end he would be earning his bread without so much hassle. Well life is different – even if you are NBA star you’ll have to sweat for your bread. Photo below shows an illusion of brothers in arms. I would like to thank Thanos Makris for sending me this shot with his explanation included: “Dear Vurdlak, I was checking some photos from the 4th game of the 2008 NBA finals and I found this one which to my eyes looks rather hilarious. It seems as if the Laker player (Pau Gasol) is lifting the Celtic player(wearing green, Posey) in the air like fathers do with their sons to get closer to the basket. Though its just Posey taking a rebound. I haven’t touched the picture, and don’t know how to do it either. You can find it on nba.com. Maybe it’s not the best illusion but its up-to-date and funny I think. Keep up the great work with your site. I think it’s one of the most enjoyable sites I visit.”

    Wow this illusion is so cool but i also think its kind of photoshopped because the yellow guy's hand is in fr<< yay first comment!>>ont of the green guys, and the yellow guy is looking away and smiling. eh… maybe just a hole in the green guy's clothes…

    Looks fine to me. Maybe the Laker player was reaching for the ball and the other guy jumped across? Yes, the Laker player is smiling, but look at the expression on Posey’s face, not exactly what you’d expect to see. either.

    I just want to know why the hell the first response to every photo is: “OMG Photoshop1!!1!1eleven!1!1!!”
    Sure it could be, but do you have any evidence, or even any knowledge about how Photoshop works?

    Gasol’s hand isn’t photoshopped, it is Posey’s jersey covering part of Gasol’s hand.

    hehe, I like this photo. And it doen’t mater if it’s been photoshoped.
    But why couldn’t the yellow guy be trying to hold green down? And couldn’t he just be liking the green guys farth? Green surely looks like farting :-)

    His hand isn’t photoshopped, it’s just point of view. The green players leg is lifted enough to where you can’t see the entire hand around the waist. It’s just one of those perfect timing shots that only really happens by accident. :)

    wow, idiots are always so quick to call ‘photoshopped’ when they see something they dont understand straight away. I personally can’t see Gasol’s left arm but it’s safe to say it’de be behind Posey’s back. as for the ‘photoshopped’ right hand, look a little closer, he’s just reaching a little around, nothing too suss i hope ;p

    the best thing about this pic (photoshopped or not) are the faces. the yellow/white dude seems to look at a great big dragon, while the green/black one is taking a dump…

    did any of you folks enlarge the pic? at 400% you can clearly see that it was altered. look at Posey’s head, or around his head and you can see where it was photoshopped, still funny though.

    to Anonymous (person #4) and maybe others:

    ACTUALLY: The “lakers” guy isnt yellow or white, he is light peach…and the “Celtic” guy isnt green or black, he is brown. LOL ;)

  19. JayK says:

    Black, white, green, yellow–”peach”….shopped not shopped….what ever.

    All I know is that that is pretty damn funny.

    Good catch Thanos!

  22. Abrc08 says:

    Maybe the green guy is having support by putting his feet at the yellow guy’s thigh?!?
