shai (caracal): y'all may remember me drawing shai as an impala earlier this year... that was before i knew much of anything about him. i have reassessed his vibes and i think he's much more kitty cat now. i thought of making him a lynx since he's canadian, but lynxes are fluffy and he doesn't strike me as a fluffy guy. also caracals are a prime basketball animal (have a 10 ft vertical jump) (fucking crazy)

jdub (smooth terrier mix): i'm always hesitant to give people dog fursonas because i'm kind of a species snob but it just fits him (and jwill) so well. i cannot ignore all the clips of them barking. i think he looks a lot like a jack russell terrier or a beagle but i don't like either breed's markings enough so i just made him a mix of some shit and called it a day

jwill (bắc hà dog): like i said for jdub i cannot ignore the clips of him barking. and he just has the vibes of a really big dog that doesn't realize how big it is and jumps all over people. i chose a vietnamese breed because his family is from vietnam and it was a nice opportunity to look up breeds that aren't really seen in the u.s. ^__^

dort (wolverine): i was stumped on him until i looked up canadian mammals and remembered about the vicious wolverine. seemed like a very fitting animal for a guy who's short (compared to league average) but is a defensive nightmare on the court

chet (maned wolf): maned wolves are another prime basketball animal just for how Fucking Long they are; i was looking for a player that i could draw as one and i finally found one in chet. look at this picture. fucking ridiculous

cason (bison): i'll be honest i just made him a bison because i think he looks like rumble
