The caption thanks Jeff Hamilton, and whether you know it or not, you're likely familiar with his work. Hamilton is the brain behind some of the most iconic celebration attire in NBA history, from Michael Jordan to Kobe Bryant.

According to his website, Hamilton considers his crowning achievement the commission to design and provide the apparel worn by the NBA's 50 greatest players in 1997.
