Forget Pablo Picasso, invest in a Ryan Simpson of LeBron James, Steph Curry or James Harden

So one can only imagine what Ryan Simpson’s portraits of high-flying NBA stars might fetch at a Christie’s auction.

Fortunately, for those of us less well-heeled than Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani (aka “the man who bought London”), prints of Simpson’s striking illustrations start at just $20.
