This might go down as THE iconic photo that kicked off the LeBron & Luka Lakers era. Mike Ojo shot this photo for SLAM showcasing a new Big 3 in LA. Look at how he perfectly framed the three of them at center court with the Lakers logo. These shots are really tough to get. You need to climb to the top of the stadium, have a ton of patience, and execute when the moment finally arrives. The numbers on Gondola don’t lie. This photo has already racked up over 2 MILLION views across socials, including a post from LeBron James himself. #sportsphotography #smsports #nba #lebron #luka #lakers

Thrilled to share another exciting milestone in my high school sports content creation journey! As I continue building the Noontime Media brand, I’m learning to truly enjoy the process—a lesson I wish I could have reminded my younger self during the 13 years I led Noontime Sports. But as we all know, every opportunity is a chance to learn, grow, and refine for the next chapter. Building a brand, whether personal or professional, is no small task. It requires time, effort, and patience—it’s a marathon, not a sprint. That’s why I’m celebrating a small but significant victory: 702,987 views on Noontime Media’s Instagram in just 15–16 months! These numbers, tracked via the incredible platform Gondola, reflect the impact of my high school sports coverage and serve as a testament to the hard work that goes into every post, photo, and video. The goal is to hit 1,000,000 views—and I believe it’s within reach with a few months left in the 2024–25 school year. But for now, my focus remains on the next piece of content, not the milestone ahead. To those embarking on or contemplating their own content creation journey, here’s my advice: ◾ Enjoy the process. ◾ Take it one step at a time. ◾ Celebrate every win, no matter how small. Big goals are achieved through consistent, daily effort. Trust the journey—you’ll get there! #ContentCreation #HighSchoolSports #EnjoyTheProcess 🔗 -- https://lnkd.in/eg8ya3tb

This might already be the photo of the year 📸 👏 Chandan Khanna from AFP absolutely nailed this shot of Jalen Hurts moments after the Eagles' Super Bowl win. Look at how he was able to capture the raw emotion of the moment by focusing on Jalen Hurts’s  intensity with chaos raining down around him. This photo has already racked up over 1 million likes and has been shared by ESPN, Complex, and Players Tribune. Where do you think this ranks among the best Super Bowl photos ever? #sportsphotography #smsports
