  • Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 09:42, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support pretty good action photo, and stronger than usual EV by also appearing in the Personal foul (basketball) article. --Pine 02:16, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support, I like how the bodies more than compensate for a potentially distracting background, and the detail is great. However, it's not as sharp as I think it could be. Daniel Case (talk) 00:50, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I agree this is a good action shot. It is caught at just the right moment to demonstrate a personal foul as best you can in a still photo. I also like the intensity on the players' faces. Rreagan007 (talk) 15:41, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, essentially per Reagan. It's nice to have some high quality action shots — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:37, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I added this to Dragić's article; the previous one there was a picture of his back. I think the use for both players gives it sufficient EV for me; I'm not totally convinced by the use in Personal foul because it's not clear that the foul was called (it should have been, since the defender's feet aren't set, but a foul visible in a still photograph is not always visible at full speed to an official); the uploader gave no indication. Sharpness is adequate to me; the defender has a tiny bit of blur but the ballhandler is pretty sharp. Chick Bowen 03:52, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
