Stunning original artwork specifically created for the HBO hit series "Ballers" featuring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson painted by world renowned sports artist James Fiorentino. Robinson will forever be remembered for breaking the color barrier back in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers and would eventually have his #42 retired by every Major League baseball team. Fiorentino is considered one of the most unique artists of the twentieth century. His skill embodies a compelling sense of realism. At the age of fifteen, James was the youngest artist to be featured in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum for his likeness of Reggie Jackson, which hung beside the paintings of Norman Rockwell and Andy Warhol. His painting commemorating Roberto Clemente remains in the museum as a part of their permanent collection. Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity directly from the artist himself. This treasure was featured on the show Ballers and is now made available to some lucky collector for the first time. This treasure measures 20x34 unframed and 28x43 framed.
