No Basketball.. Rhetoric in a picture.

Sorry fans, no basketball this season.
LeBron's crying too don't worry.

Anyways, let's just check out this picture and check out some details.


Analysis:

Tone: With the faces smiling, and the lights focused on the Dallas Maverick team, the tone is very elated, joyous, and momentous.

Pathos: This picture particularly appeals to fans of the Dallas Mavericks, bringing an excited emotion to the fans, and probably even more so to people who dislike the Miami Heat. The excitement is increased due to the fact that this is the first championship one by the Dallas Mavericks.

Structure: The whole team is gathered together, as the team should who won the championship together. The Finals Trophy is held by Dirk Nowitzki, but it is placed in the center, showing how important this event is. Under the trophy, the team raise their arms in victory, for they are among the prestige and honor of the trophy and championship now.

  1. While the analysis is solid, Michael, attempt to post the actual image the next time?

    Is there a hint here of also demonizing the corporate owners of the NBA?
