Andrew Bernstein, Longtime Lakers Photographer, Receives Hall of Fame Gowdy Award

From Magic Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal to Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, the iconic players of the purple and gold have all been documented by the same man: Andrew D. Bernstein.

A photographer covering the NBA for the last 35 years, Bernstein was honored by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Thursday, receiving the Curt Gowdy Award for print media excellence.

Bernstein traveled to Springfield, Mass., for the ceremony, where he became just the second photographer to ever accept the award.

Congratulations to @ADBPhotoInc for receiving the Curt Gowdy Print Media Award.
