NBA “Heroes Wanted”

NL partnered with the incredible team at Translation to turn the best moments of the NBA Playoffs and Finals into an epic comic book story. Depicting each NBA superstar as a superhero with their own, unique powers, NL built a massive toolkit involving over 17 unique player portraits and 12 animated highlight moments.
