San Antonio Spurs - El Fuerte

San Antonio has a very large Latino population so it seemed fitting to choose El Fuerte to represent them. If you squint, you can make out the numbers of the Spur's Big Three in the stars on El Fuerte's mask. Subtlety at its finest!
Dallas Mavericks - Guile

For those of you living under a rock during the past year, the Mavs won the 2011 NBA Playoffs!!! I combined both my favorite Street Fighter character, Guile, and Dallas Maverick, Dirk, to make the sonic boom-tacular man-beast you see above! REPEAT 2012!!!
Memphis Grizzlies - Zangief

Like the Mavs, the Grizzlies were also in the 2011 Playoffs, although, unlike the Mavs, they did NOT win the NBA Championship. I once again incorporated a team's logo into the chest hair of a Street Fighter character, which works eerily well way too often...
Houston Rockets - Chun Li

Chun Li is too cool of a character to leave out of this sausage fest just because she's a woman. Fortunately, my girlfriend is a Rockets fan AND Chun Li fan so I deemed it fitting to pair the two of them together!
New Orleans Hornets - Remy

Like the Raptors, I decided to pair the Hornet's with a French Street Fighter character given the cultural influences of the French in New Orleans. Chris Kaman has gross, long hair so I thought he'd work well although the final drawing ended up looking more like some bizarro sketch of Kurt Cobain than anything else, which is actually pretty cool as long as you're into Nirvana.
