Overview

A gritty, graphic look at the high-powered NBA play-offs, this is a riveting examination of sport, violence, masculinity, racial politics and television culture. Eric Payson takes us into the dark heart of the American Dream with these photos shot off a widescreen TV during the 2001 playoffs. More then just portraying basketball, they explore America's obsession with entertainment and voyeurism and the public's lust for the violence and pageantry of spectator sports.
