The logo silhouette that was unveiled in 2001 (pictured above) is still in place 13 years later today. An interesting fact that most people don't know is that while the NBA logo man is rumored to be a caricature of Jerry West, the D-League logo man is actually a "Frankenstein" model of multiple at-the-time-of-design active players in the NBA. The logo's ascending about-to-dunk action is symbolic of the determined philosophy D-League players possess, and a symbol that the younger generation of basketball players can easily relate to.
