This piece asks the question, "what if Bobby Plump was a little off?" We wouldn't even be talking about him today even though he was a good basketball player, what makes him famous is "the last shot." The shot that won it all for a small school from Milan, Indiana in 1954. For the shot that made movies. The shot that made people remember. This piece displayed a little bit slanted with the basketball net suspended up in the air as if to remind us or to resemble a swish of the basket and an old wood frame with the name Bobby Plump etched in history. Big white lettering significant for so many reasons, bobby plump is a living legend in Indiana but the question we're raising with this piece is very important. Just like everything else in BROKEN RIMS AND DIRTY DREAMS. This is a question about life. What if Bobby Plump was a little off? Nicknickers. Ironic. Idiotic. Iconic. You will never be the same.
