Nathaniel S. Butler have photographed more than 35 NBA Finals as the senior official NBA photographers. Based in the New York area, Butler has been covering the New York Knicks and New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets for the NBA since 1984. Butler went to St. John's University and began photographing basketball games at Madison Square Garden, where the team played their larger games. At MSG, he met photographers from Sports Illustrated who were also there to cover the game. “I started working as an assistant which was basically an apprenticeship. It was the greatest experience ever,” Butler said. “At that time, Sports Illustrated was what we all aspired to do…it was the greatest learning experience I've ever had.” From that experience, Butler learned how to light indoor arenas and the importance of timing using the strobe system that restricts shooting to one photo every four seconds. He continued to shoot games at MSG and worked as an intern in the NBA PR Department in 1984, the same year David Stern was promoted to Commissioner. “There was no photography department back then,” Butler said. “David had just started NBA Entertainment, he wanted to archive the NBA history and document history.” At that time, the NBA did not send photographers to every game and the NBA Photo Department was nonexistent. Butler explained that the international market sparked a demand for NBA photos and, in 1985, the NBA Photos Department was created. “It started with me covering press conferences and talking my way into a Knicks game,” Butler said of his NBA photography career. Bernstein and Butler reminisce about the early days of covering NBA games, from dragging two miles of zip cords through arenas and stadiums to dealing with spontaneous strobe failures and being limited to a finite number of photos per roll of film. “What some of the younger people may not realize was that we were shooting with film…editing and processing the film was a labor-intensive process,” Butler said. Butler shares the memories behind some of his most iconic photos including the time when someone stole Michael Jordan's jersey from the locker room and MJ had to wear a generic no. 12 jersey during the game on February 14, 1990. Other images include the iconic shot of Bill Russell and Michael Jordan with the MVP award which was taken in just a few frames. “These guys have 17 rings between them…This is what I talk about being fortunate enough to document things,” Butler said. Butler shares a documentary project he's working on to sort the fact from fiction when it comes to NBA championship rings. “After you get one ring, you don't get another ring…Bill Russell won 11 championships in 13 years. There's a lot of urban myths about what you get instead of a ring,” Butler said.”Everyone talks about rings and championships…but Bill Russell may have gotten a tea set for winning an NBA Championship.” --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matt-brown57/support

Joe chats with Hall of Fame NBA Photographer, legendary sports podcaster, author, media producer and teacher Andrew Bernstein. They explore some of the most storied locker rooms (eleven times with Phil Jackson) team huddles (Pat Riley's Showtime Lakers) and championship moments (MJ, Kobe, Dodgers and Kings) and how learning from greatness has impacted his own journey from lows to highs. Together they talk about protecting the light within, being mindful of who you put in charge of your own self-image and how our relationships may open doors to our future. Ultimately they speak about the essence of the Mamba Mentality, the secret ingredient to cultivating an edge and why life sometimes asks us to pivot to something greater than we'd imagined. Who is Andrew? Like many of the professional athletes he photographs, Andrew D. Bernstein is recognized as an all-star in sports photography. The unique personal rapport Bernstein has developed with athletes, coaches and teams over the years allows him exclusive access to special behind-the-scenes moments. A co-founder of NBA Photos, Bernstein is the key photographic contributor to NBA Entertainment's global media platforms, which include NBA.com, all league publications and NBA licensed products. He has been the team photographer for twelve professional home teams which won championships in basketball (Lakers in 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010, 2020), baseball (Dodgers in 1988) and hockey (Kings in 2012 and 2014).​ Bernstein has covered 40 NBA Finals and 38 All-Star Games as the senior NBA photographer.

Growing up in a blue collar town on the outskirts of Boston, Michael Tolajian's love of Larry Bird and the arts helped him get his big break at NBA Entertainment in the early 90s. After getting his masters at USC Fim School Tolajian jumped back into the world of Sports Television, directing what is hailed as one of the best 30 for 30's of all time, Once Brothers, and has gone on to be a top creative executive at the Pac 12 Network and Fox Sports. Michael details how a Civil War destroyed the once brotherly relationship between Drazen Petrovic and Vlade Divac. It's impressive to find out how he was able to get Vlade and Drazen's family to be so open and honest.  We then transition to a story you may not have ever heard of, Q Ball.  Well let's just say Michael went to San Quentin Prison and filmed the story of convicts who earn the right to hoop vs members of the Golden State Warriors staff.  I simplified it but it's much deeper than that and we get to hear all about it on this episode of Beyond the Lens. 

Hailing out of Woodstock New York, Zak Levitt's  love of basketball landed him a job in the Miami HEAT video room right next to future Hall of Famer Eric Spoelstra. Levitt than took his love of sports and storytelling to NBA Entertainment where long nights in the edit bay led him to become their lead director on some of their most formidable documentaries.Including the highly anticipated 20 year anniversary documentary on the Dream Team.  Zack tells us what it was like to work with 11 Hall of Famers to share their memories of the 1992 Olympic Experience in Barcelona.  We then transition to a documentary that I truly enjoyed on Julius the Doctor Erving.  This doc was more than just a biopic piece.  Zak was able to get the Doctor to open up about so much more than just basketball.  And lastly we touch on Zak's highly acclaimed 30 for 30 Bad Boys. On the Detroit Pistons teams for the late 80's and early 90's.  You won't want to miss a moment of the conversation on this episode of Beyond the Lens presented by Diesel Films.

Andrew Bernstein is recognized as an all-star in sports photography. The unique personal rapport that he has developed with athletes and coaches and teams over the years, allows him exclusive access to special behind the scene moments. As a co-founder of NBA Photos, Andrew is the key photographic contributor to NBA Entertainment's global media platforms, which include NBA.com, all-league publications, and NBA licensed products. He has been the team photographer for ten professional home teams which won championships in basketball, baseball, and hockey. He has covered 38 NBA Finals and All-Star Games as the senior NBA photographer. In 2018, Bernstein collaborated with five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant on the worldwide bestselling book “The Mamba Mentality: How I Play,” a unique look at Bryant's 20-year career through Bernstein's lens. He's also been awarded the 2018 Curt Gowdy Award recipient, acknowledging his contributions to basketball media. Having seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of business, Andrew considers professional sports as a ruthless business. Sometimes it lacks any sense of morality. But all that being said, he has a deep love for the athletes and the personalities he had crossed paths with. And this became one of his motivations for his reinvention. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: How Andrew found his passion for photography Why professional sports is a ruthless business How the Legends of Sport came to be How to prepare for reinvention and figuring out what had to give The story behind the Legends of Sport podcast The power of the voice medium Episode Highlights: The Launch of Legends of Sport Most athletes retire in team sports in their mid-30s. But at the end of their careers, and then post-career, they're basically just being spit out. Agents don't sign them. They don't return phone calls, and they don't really have a lot of skills. Plus, they have addiction problems, custody issues with children, and all kinds of financial problems. Andrew, along with his two best friends, launched Legends of Sport, decided they wanted to work in sports in some way, but they didn't want to work for anybody ever again. And having seen the horror stories of athletes that have fallen on hard times, they wanted to do something to help get these people whole as human beings first, and then help them become viable and marketable again. It's a terrible thing when the spotlight is so bright, for so long and then it moved away. How to Prepare for Reinvention It's a matter of just increasing the bandwidth and getting rid of stuff in my life that was holding me back. Sometimes, you just have to sit down and ask yourself if your career now is something you want to be doing for the next 10 years of your life. The Power of the Voice Medium People don't have to get dressed and put on makeup and look good. They can just show up and have great conversations with the community and connect with people and build a business and build connections. We are all such social beings as humans and the last year has really taken a toll on that. So anything that we can do to stay connected, have real conversations to expose people – not just to inspire or motivate, but just human connection – is just so important for people to really stay connected to.

This is an encore episode, originally published in 2018, before the death of basketball player, Kobe Bryant.  Today we welcome two of professional basketball’s best photographers, and that’s not just me talking. Nat Butler is Senior Photographer for NBA Entertainment and has worked the last thirty-three NBA Finals. He is also the official photographer for the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets. Andrew Bernstein is the longest-tenured official NBA photographer, the photographer for the L.A. Lakers and L.A. Clippers, a recent inductee to the NBA Hall of Fame, and the photographer of the new book, The Mamba Mentality, by Kobe Bryant. So, enough of the bona fides, these two photographers are also great friends, and they bring their easy-going banter and the ultimate insider’s perspective to the B&H Photography Podcast. Our conversation covers a wide range of topics, from the gear they use (and what they don’t), the lighting systems they’ve developed, the intimacy of basketball photography compared to other sports, and how fashion and social media has affected their day-to-day work. We also dig into the shooting strategies they employ for each game and how their images are used by NBA Photos. Butler noted that in the past, a cover photo on Sports Illustrated would have been seen by approximately 3 million subscribers and, now, with tethering and instant feeds, a game photo can be seen by up to 30 million subscribers to the NBA Instagram feed within five minutes of the photo having been taken. Whether you are into sports photography, event and production photography, or NBA history, this episode is for you.

Los productores (NBA Entertainment) convencieron a la leyenda de los Bulls diciéndole que si finalmente decidía que estas imágenes no se pudieran utilizar, tendría unas grabaciones en la máxima calidad para enseñárselas a sus hijos o nietos. Y Jordan aceptó. Durante años y años, Jordan ha estado diciendo que no quería utilizar estas imágenes. Y más de 500 horas de grabación, han permanecido en un archivo de la NBA sin ser vistas por nadie durante más de 20 años. ¿Por qué Jordan ha dado finalmente permiso para realizar este mega documental? Si hubiera sido a los 20 años (en 2018), hubiera tenido un sentido histórico... ¿pero en 2020? 22 años después...

Dion Cocoros, the Senior VP of Content Creation for NBA Entertainment explains the creative process and the timing involved in releasing the epic ten part series.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this edition of Catch & Shoot 2.0, Otto Strong and Aaron Berlin are joined by NBA Entertainment executive Dion Docoros. The senior vice president discusses in detail the strategy behind waiting to release The Last Dance. He also breaks down the Bad Boys and what made the Detroit Pistons a unique champion. Cocoros also discusses the possiblity of a series about Kobe Bryant. The guys also give their take on episodes 3 and 4 and explain why Dennis Rodman was such a special player.

It is hard to believe, but it has been more than two decades since Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and a ragtag cast of characters won their 6th and final championship. The documentary will primarily feature footage that an NBA Entertainment crew complied as they followed the Bulls around for the entire 1997-98 season. Beyond the footage, the documentary will feature a ton of present-day interviews which I'm sure will be highly entertaining. Look I can't wait to see Dennis Rodman's hair color, clothes, and yes I'm looking forward to trying to decode what he says.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thedisturbance/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thedisturbance/support

In the fall of 1997, an NBA Entertainment film crew followed Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls throughout the season. The result would be a remarkable portrait of an iconic player and a celebrated team – revealed, more than two decades later, in The Last Dance, the highly anticipated ten-part series premiering on ESPN on April 19. The series takes viewers back to Jordan’s childhood roots, the Bulls’ dire circumstances before his arrival and how the team was built after drafting him in 1984, to the struggles that eventually led to the team’s first NBA championship. Throughout the Bulls’ first five championships, viewers will experience the off-court challenges, struggles and triumphs that were a part of the culture-shifting phenomenon created by Jordan and the Bulls. Featuring in-depth profiles of Jordan’s key teammates including Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Steve Kerr, and head coach Phil Jackson, plus dozens of current-day interviews with rivals and luminaries from basketball and beyond, the result is one of the most fascinating sports documentary series ever produced – a series viewers won’t want to miss. The Last Dance director Jason Hehir – the Emmy Award-winning sports filmmaker behind popular ESPN 30 for 30 installments such as The ’85 Bears, Bernie & Ernie and Down in the Valley and HBO’s recent Andre the Giant – can preview the new series and share his experiences creating this unique series.

From Wikipedia and portions from this interview http://www.sfweekly.com/2002-08-14/news/california-loved/ Roger Troutman (November 29, 1951 – April 25, 1999), also known mononymously as Roger, was an American singer, composer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and the founder of the band Zapp who helped spearhead the funk movement and heavily influenced West Coast hip hop due to the scene's heavy sampling of his music over the years. Troutman was well known for his use of the talk box, a device that is connected to an instrument (frequently a keyboard, but most commonly a guitar) to create different vocal effects. Roger used a custom-made talkbox–the Electro Harmonix "Golden Throat," through a Moog Minimoog and later in his career a Yamaha DX100 FM synthesizer. As both band leader of Zapp and in his subsequent solo releases, he scored a bevy of funk and R&B hits throughout the 1980s. Biography Early career Born in Hamilton, Ohio, Roger was the fourth of ten children. His first band was called the Crusaders; however, they are not to be confused with the jazz group featuring Joe Sample and Wilton Felder. Troutman's band played in Cincinnati and recorded a single, "Busted Surfboard"/"Seminole". The band members were Rick Schoeny, Roy Beck, Dave Spitzmiller, and Denny Niebold. Troutman had formed various other bands with his four brothers, including Little Roger, and the Vels, and Roger and the Human Body. In 1977, he and the Human Body issued "Freedom", their first single. Within two years, Roger and his brothers were discovered by George Clinton, who signed the newly christened Zapp to his Uncle Jam Records label in 1979. The original line-up consisted of Roger Troutman, Larry Troutman, Lester Troutman, Terry Troutman, Gregory Jackson and Bobby Glover. Zapp made their professional television debut on the first and only Funk Music Awards show. A year later, as Uncle Jam Records was forced to close, Troutman signed with Bootsy Collins under Rubber Band Music to Warner Bros. Records and released his self-titled debut 'Zapp', which yielded "More Bounce to the Ounce", produced by Collins, co- produced, written, composed and performed by Troutman. The song peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Soul Singles chart in late 1980. The debut album reached the top 20 of the Billboard 200. From 1980 to 1985, Zapp released the gold-selling albums Zapp, Zapp II, Zapp III and The New Zapp IV U, including the Top 10 R&B singles "Be Alright", "Dance Floor", "I Can Make You Dance", "Heartbreaker", "It Doesn't Really Matter" and "Computer Love". Throughout Zapp's history, around 15 musicians participated. In 1993, Zapp released their biggest-selling album: Zapp & Roger: All the Greatest Hits. It featured remixed cuts of Troutman's solo singles along with a new single "Slow and Easy", (featured vocalists Shirley Murdock and Ronnie Diamond). The album sold over two million copies. The album Zapp VI: Back by Popular Demand was released in 2002 by the remaining brothers after the deaths of Roger and Larry. In 1981, Troutman cut The Many Facets of Roger, his first solo album. Featuring a funk cover of Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine",  The album also featured the hit "So Ruff, So Tuff", which was similar to "More Bounce..." as were most Roger/Zapp singles during this time. The same year, Troutman recorded with Parliament-Funkadelic on the band's final Warner Brothers' album The Electric Spanking of War Babies. In 1984, Troutman issued his second solo album The Saga Continues..., which featured the singles "It's in the Mix" (which was dedicated to Soul Train and its host Don Cornelius), and a cover of Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour", which featured gospel group the Mighty Clouds of Joy. In 1987, Troutman scored his most successful solo album with Unlimited!, carried by the massive hit "I Want to Be Your Man" which rose to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the R&B chart. Alongside his successful career as Zapp member and solo artist, Troutman also became a producer and writer for other artists including Shirley Murdock, whose 1985 Platinum debut featured the Roger-produced hit "As We Lay". He also produced for Zapp member Dale DeGroat on his solo efforts. In 1988, Troutman made an appearance on Scritti Politti's third album Provision, providing talk box vocals on the songs "Boom There She Was" and "Sugar and Spice". Three years later, Troutman released his final solo album with Bridging the Gap, featuring the hit "Everybody (Get Up)". He worked with Elvis Costello on the song "The Other Side of Summer". In 1989, NBA Entertainment selected Troutman among a variety of candidates to record a tribute song called "I'm So Happy" for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Career re-emergence Troutman toured after the release of All the Greatest Hits. He was invited to appear as guest artist on several hip-hop albums, including Snoop Dogg's 1993 debut Doggystyle. In 1995 he was featured on Eazy-E's posthumous album Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton on "Eternal E". The same year Troutman performed vocals on 2Pac and Dr. Dre's single "California Love". The song became Troutman's biggest-selling and most successful single to date as the song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over two million copies, and received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.  Troutman then produced a top 10 R&B hit cover of the Persuaders' "Thin Line Between Love and Hate", performed by Shirley Murdock and R&B group H-Town, with talk box by Troutman. The movie soundtrack to A Thin Line Between Love and Hate also included a club hit "Chocolate City". In 1998, he appeared in a remix version of Sounds of Blackness' "Hold On (A Change Is Coming)", which sampled Zapp's "Doo-Wah Ditty (Blow That Thang)". Roger last recorded on the song "Master of the Game" from rapper Kool Keith's album Black Elvis/Lost In Space. Death On the morning of April 25, 1999, Troutman was found shot and critically wounded outside his northwest Dayton recording studio around 7 am. According to doctors, the 47-year-old had been shot several times in the torso. Troutman died during surgery at the Good Samaritan Hospital and Health Center. Roger's brother Larry was found dead in a car a few blocks away with a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The car matched the description of a vehicle leaving the scene of Roger Troutman's shooting, according to witnesses. The gun found with Larry also matched the one that fired the fatal shots at Roger, suggesting that Larry had shot Roger and then committed suicide. With both men dead, and with no known witnesses, the case was described as a murder-suicide. Friends and family speculated that the source of the dispute was Larry's financial troubles and Roger's desire to dissolve their business partnership. Troutman, who lived 24 years in the Dayton area, was survived by six sons, six daughters, and nine grandchildren.

Laura and Sheri have a great story about how they met. It demonstrates how simple things can and do make an impact. Sheri shares her story and how she literally crashed and could not wake up! She had her “dream job” but realized she had a great career, not a great life. “Stop spending 100% of your time on 10% of your life!” How do we make that change?

She explains the difference between committing to the goal or committing to consistency and why it can hold us back. She also outlines 3 steps to break up with inconsistency! It isn’t about doing more or being better at time management. Her process helps you make real change. Every moment is the opportunity to make a new choice. We can start fresh and stack the cards in our favor. Sheri explains how she dealt with her fear and depression. As a result of her own experience, she is now on a mission to help others keep their cup full. Peace is the new success Laura and Sheri wrap up with learning to celebrate.

Today we welcome two of professional basketball’s best photographers, and that’s not just me talking.  Nat Butler is Senior Photographer for NBA Entertainment and has worked the last thirty-three NBA Finals. He is also the official photographer for the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets. Andrew Bernstein is the longest-tenured official NBA photographer, the photographer for the L.A. Lakers and L.A. Clippers, a recent inductee to the NBA Hall of Fame, and the photographer of the new book, The Mamba Mentality, by Kobe Bryant. So, enough of the bona fides, these two photographers are also great friends, and they bring their easy-going banter and the ultimate insider’s perspective to the B&H Photography Podcast. Our conversation covers a wide range of topics, from the gear they use (and what they don’t), the lighting systems they’ve developed, the intimacy of basketball photography compared to other sports, and how fashion and social media has affected their day-to-day work. We also dig into the shooting strategies they employ for each game and how their images are used by NBA Photos. Butler noted that in the past, a cover photo on Sports Illustrated would have been seen by approximately 3 million subscribers and, now, with tethering and instant feeds, a game photo can be seen by up to 30 million subscribers to the NBA Instagram feed within five minutes of the photo having been taken.  Whether you are into sports photography, event and production photography, or NBA history, this episode is for you.

In the third edition of our NBA 20 Years Ago series, we explore the events of December 1997 in the NBA, including Latrell Sprewell being suspended for choking Warriors coach P.J. Carlesimo, the Wizards opening a new arena, the Mavericks naming Don Nelson as coach, the slam dunk contest being canceled, and Michael Jordan being the victim of a hoax involving his mother's health during a game.

We also talk about the NBA's first regular season game in Mexico, the Mavericks' dance team being robbed, Penny Hardaway's knee problems, Jordan passing a series of all-time scoring milestones, a hotel fight between Rod Strickland and Tracy Murray, one of the lowest-scoring games in NBA history, Adam Silver being promoted in NBA Entertainment, the NBA cracking down on profanity, Jerry Stackhouse being traded to the Pistons, Patrick Ewing suffering a major wrist injury, Karl Malone being creepy, Corliss Williamson and Derrick Coleman getting into an on-court scuffle, Bubba Wells breaking a record for fouling out the fastest, and much more.
