Basket Ball Head

Friend of mine, Hrvoje Cota sent me this illusion recently. The photo wasn’t messed with, it was just a coincidence that the ball bounced in the right moment the photographer took the photo of this Blazers NBA player! Check the filename of the picture, and please post what player is this, since I’m not sure. Do you like this one? We had similar ice-skating illusion in the past, check it! If you like basketball illusions, you may like to see Basketball Player in Google Earth, and Lenin Statue. They are both great! Thanks Hrvoje…

  1. So stupid. Kinda obvious it was photoshopped. Liked some others way more.

    All I can say……..SO STUPID!!!!!!

  2. Why is it not possible to have ones head eclipsed by the basket ball. Particularly when on a basketball court and chasing down the ball? It only happens for a split second.
    Why are the rest of us “So Stupid” if we dont believe in your illusion of knowledge?
    Should we believe the world is so boring that nothing interesting and odd happens.
    Photography dosnt necessiarily mean sitting still and clicking a portrait. The world moves and is far more interesting than any Photoshop tricks.
    Which this Highly likely is not.!

  3. Ok it cant be photoshoped

    one: the lighting on the basketball corresponds with the lighting on the player

    two: stuff like this happens(split-second photos) get over it,
    its not stupid its cool, i wish i could have the opportunity to take a picture like that

  4. i agree with ryan. the arms definetly look like digital graphics from the PS3. i think it was a cheat code that made him have a basketball head.

  5. Can’t you people that have Photoshop on the brain read what the person who runs the site said?

    For crying out loud, amazing photos have been being taken since before Photoshop existed. Accept the fact that amazing photos can be and still are being taken everyday, get over your hangup that everything is photoshopped, and maybe you’ll enjoy this site a little more.

    Oh and it might help if you’d read what Vurdlak posts about the pictures posted once in a while.

  6. wow his head either has to be really far back or really small or he has no neck to have a pic this perfect…

  7. This pic is definatelly of Shareef Abdur-Raheem :) And I agree with comment number 17, PS3 wasn’t out in 2006. And it is most certainly not photoshop becasue 1) Vurdlak said it wasn’t! and 2) the features are perfectly lighted the same as the ball, so, that showsyou guys need t find a new obsession that doens’t include photoshop.

    Why does every odd picture that is posted on this site alwys have to be called photoshopped atleast once? I think it is stupid. Yeah I said it! Anyways, this is a great pic :)

  8. dis is for sure a player from trinidad and tobago cuz look at d colours red white and black, the colous of the national flag

  9. It’s Shareef Abdur-Rahim and he’s leaning his head back so the ball doesn’t hit him square in the face. Happens all the time in the NBA. Great pic
