Hooked on the 'horns.

Reno's Jeremy Lin, on assignment from the Golden State Warriors.
Lin is averaging 19.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists since joining the 'horns. 

I love the D-League. Seriously. It's really enjoyable basketball. Never thought I'd say that when David Kahn brought the team to town in 2008 but damn it, I'm hooked. I even like the arena. It's a fun place to shoot. I've lit it a few times but usually make do with the available light, which—depending on the part of the court—is either incredibly bright or terribly dark. I also have unusually free access to the catwalks which makes for some unique overhead angles.

Last weekend, Nancy Lieberman's Texas Legends were in Reno. I shot both games. Both Bighorns wins. Saturday night was Susan G. Komen for the Cure night so some of the players donned pink headbands and bracelets. Here's a few of my favorite images from the game:

Coach Muss sporting a pink tie, shirt and lapel pin. Also, yelling.

Mo Charlo's pink 'horns headband.



My favorite fan. She was really excited about Gelato Lotto.




Lin, again.

Nancy.

Nancy's kicks.




Little 'horns.

Had a decent crowd Saturday night, wanted to give some sense of place.
