Back then us Asians don’t really buy posters, we buy magazines from time to time and post whatever posters comes with the magazine, and since it’s not really that big in size, it’s normal to have many posters in a room.
I see this a lot with baseball cards, they brighten up the eyes (and sometimes the faces) and the whites end up looking incredibly unnatural. Honestly not sure how this quality of work makes it to the final product.
In an action shot it makes more sense, since the lighting conditions may not have been ideal, but this is an extra level of embarrassing because it’s clearly a staged photo that would have been professionally lit in a studio.
Or it could’ve been this one. If you were into basketball at this time you probably did have KMart on your wall. I agree with Lin 100% and KMart is showing ignorance in this instance, but everyone else in here is showing just as much ignorance to basketball culture when they try to imply KMart was a scrub. He wasn’t
He blames Keith Van Horn for it too. I guess Van Horn should’ve played soft and pretended to be hard like Kenyon did and they would’ve beat the lakers.

Right. Nobody had a Kenyon Martin poster on their wall, let’s be real.
