We get a lot of artwork submissions from readers and for the most part, they are pretty damn good (We also get some bad ones and the occasional creepy one, but let's not get into those).

Not a fan of either? Then there's Kevin Durant. Not only is he leading Team USA to possible gold at the FIBA World Championship, but everyone likes KD!
