A vertically oriented color photograph depicts a man with a dark skin tone suspended against a black background. Facing away, his muscular back is bathed in light from the right and his left side in shadow. His right arm reaches upward, grasping a basketball caught in a tan rope noose. He wears black shorts with blue trim and blue and white sneakers. The figure hangs vertically, his feet dangling above the bottom edge.
