That score board would have been pretty high-tech for 1966.

While Ioos did extensive work "in sports", his talent is primarily in fine-art portraiture, which is what leads to shots like this. He didnt approach hos sports work as "sports photographer". This is no knock on sports photographers, but I think this one photo perfectly illustrates the difference between the crafts.

The vertical on Russell! Read his autobiography… there’s a part where he discovered in college he could get his head above the rim!

This is an amazing photo thats more akin to some painting of a mythical entity than sports photography

Those fancy shoes are part of the reason why players today are so much better than back then.

To clarify it's not the only reason, but fancy shoes along with better training regiments, nutrition, sports science, sleeping habits and a million other things we've improved on is the reason basketball is what it is today

I love the lighting in the old arenas with the dark corners. Super dramatic. Bill looks like an angel.

Interesting that some of the Celtics players have “Boston” on their jerseys while others have “Celtics”.

Sometimes one photo can say more than video of the entire game. Excellent shot!
