#101 • GIANNIS COMMEMORATIVE PRINT
The Bucks historic 2021 championship run triggered an avalanche of commemorative swag including a myriad of t-shirts, coasters, straw hats—even an electronic dartboard. While the majority of commemorative posters could be considered rather expected, one emerged as truly unique. Filmmaker and artist Kyle James created the Bucks “Prophecy Series” inspired by Drew Struzan’s Star Wars posters of yore. This framed print captures the epicness of the title run with the stopping power it deserves. Grab a piece of history when you own one of only 100 prints.
