After the fantastic reception to our first NBA Heroes Wanted campaign, the team at Translation returned to Nathan Love for a second campaign to kickoff the new NBA season. This time we came up with a fresh new style suitable for more action packed animation, while still staying within the super powered, comic book world. The goal was to portray some of the best players in their brand new team jersey for the 2019-20 season.
