On this episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Adam Port!

A New York-based photorealist artist, Adam is an athlete who's love for Michael Jordan and art goes back to his childhood growing up on Long Island. His artistic abilities eventually landed him at Syracuse University, where he studied Illustration at the College of Visual and Performing Arts.

After being discovered by a New York Knicks photographer in 2000, Adam earned a prestigious licensing agreement with the NBA. Over the years, the client list for his art has included the likes of Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, Shaquille O'Neal, Carmelo Anthony, Justin Tuck, Jay-Z and the 40/40 Club, The Ludacris Foundation, and Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc., among many others. Additionally, Adam's love for MJ and hoops has led to photorealistic paintings of numerous sneakers, including classics from the Air Jordan and Kobe lines.

In his return to the pod, Adam joins Mike for a Part 2 about to go more in depth about his journey and experiences as an artist. The two discuss his recent "New York or Nowhere" Patrick Ewing painting (his largest to date), this year marking the 25-year anniversary he was discovered by a New York Knicks photographer at Madison Square Garden, Carmin Romanelli giving him a dream opportunity with the NBA as a young artist, his experience at the 2009 Basketball Hall of Fame induction, including presenting his painting to that year's class and meeting Michael Jordan, meeting John Salley on The Best Damn Sports Show Period, and more.
