Late last summer during the 2012 Rookie Transition Program and 2012 NBA Rookie Photo Shoot, respectively, Panini America officials asked several of the most talented young stars in the league to show off their artistic talents by handcrafting their best off-the-cuff sketches.
Presented below is an art gallery of sorts showcasing just some of our favorites. One thing you’ll notice about these one-of-one masterpieces, however, is that we’ve removed the identity of each artist. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to correctly identify as many of the artists as possible for a chance to win some sweet prizes from our recently completed Panini Unwrapped episode featuring 2012-13 Limited Basketball.
We’re not going to leave you hanging without any clues to go on, though. We’ve provided the names of each artist below, including some that have multiple works of art in the gallery. Simply match the correct piece of art to the artist who created it. Those with the most correct will be entered to win a box of 2012-13 Limited Basketball or some of our best hits from the Unwrapped episode.
Enjoy the exhibit and good luck. All entries are due by 12 p.m. (CST) on Friday. And we’ll wait to approve all entries until the contest ends.
Now, for the list of names:

Kyrie Irving
Jonas Valanciunas
