Media Day · Spring 2026

Suited Up

Every spring, the whole program steps in front of one light and one backdrop. No scoreboard, no crowd — just the jersey, the ball, and the kid who earned it. Here are our favorite frames from Media Day 2026.

Behind The Lens

Shot By Josh Graz

Every Media Day photo on this page was made by Josh Graz — a photographer and videographer whose work runs from national sports and entertainment productions to the gym floors of Central New York.

His three biggest contracts to date: Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty, the San Antonio Spurs, and Raptors guard Jamal Shead. He's photographed Victor Wembanyama, shot for REVOLT at REVOLT World and SXSW, worked through Scarlett Creative Co.'s athlete network, and put in the same work for youth hoops programs on both ends of the country.

For Media Day 2026 he ran a full studio setup for us and shot all 264 frames the program went home with. We'd rather you hire him than wonder who took these.
