Description
When the Na'vi Basketball Association tripled the the size of the regulation court and included the use of bows and arrows for their home games, the game became much more interesting. But, they were still required to play by the standard rules and regulations when they joined the Olympics.
***
An NBA Basketball hoop is 10' high from the floor and is 18" in diameter.
The average height of an NBA player is 6'7". The current tallest player is 7'6"
Believe it or not, this is Vicky4. I already did a morph for V4 in an previoous Avatar image, so I reused her and made a render for each of the five characters, then blanded them in postwork. Painted the hair. Ball and backboard from Predatron's City Streets (altered the backboard and added the net from a photo)
I know there are Avatar experts and basketball experts who will find logical fault in this image. Since I'm not very logical, just enjoy the idea of the image.

Very good!
What a great team "Blue" we would say in France! Fantastic !
Well done. The fur at the tip of the tail that hides the tendrils is missing. If we ever have a true International Olympics, I wonder if they would play an exhibition game.
Very enjoyable render
Nice work and a sporting advantage well realised!
hahahahaha most excellent :)
Noted and well said... were they recruited by Kevin Bacon like in "The Air Up There"? Very nice!
Yeah excellent and perfect characters ^^
The Blue Men Group! Wonderful creation. I love those ideas - and sile.....
Excellent work and modeling.
you crack me up again. Of course the ball is made of pure unobtainium. An unbeatable team, unless there are two such teams!
good one...thanx fer the chuckle.. ...
It would have been fun to add a few NBA players, off to the side, for scale. Great one Superfrog. Bravo and best wishes from Dave :^)
I'd hate to be on the opposing team. YIKES! Nice work.
Don't let Gheorghe Muresan, Manute Bol, Shawn Bradley, Yao Ming, or Shaq see this, because they wouldn't like it. And if anybody doesn't like the render (which is pretty good, considering that I'm betting you didn't have the CGI staff that the movie had by the way), just tell them that the human to Na'vi mix was a little bit off, and considering just how much an AVATAR costs these days....
I love it!! Just saw the movie in 3D yesterday evening, and I think you did a great job on this. ;-)
That's hilarious! great job.
Wonderful image! Love the whimsical nature and the morph looks fantastic
Cool team..like that point guard!!
