Enter: The Wombat The NBA has over 400 players. Of those, maybe 100 have super-cool desktop wallpapers made for them with all sorts of lasers and inexplicable intergalactic graphical absurdities surrounding their glorified, glowing athletic brilliance. Well, I’ve had enough. It’s time to recognize the players who make true NBA fans tick. And so I introduce a new series entitled: Role Player Wallpaper. Let’s give these well-paid underdogs the feeling that they too are worthy of being cast into an alien landscape. Using Gary Forbes’ stellar stats from last season with the Denver Nuggets (sorry Raptors fans, I owe you), this layout was inspired by Noam Schiller’s answer to my question: Who should be named The Wombat? In stunning 1440x900 brilliance, lose your folders in this cluttered desktop wallpaper while celebrating Gary’s true nature. Follow @AnthonyBain // ]] // ]]]]>]]>
