"I love this game"

I finally sent this painting for framing last Sunday and I collected it back today. I love paintings that tell a story. My interpretation of this painting is a poor Filipino boy who dreams of growing up to be a professional Basketball player to escape poverty. It tells a story of hope. I also appreciate the shading and the silhouette drawn by the artist.
My pitiful art print by a Spanish artist had to make way for this awesome portrait.

Finally.

Show a picture of how the painting is positioned within your living area?

The Spanish print is very cute too, is it original?

It is facing my main door so it is not in the livingroom per se.
The print is an original but the artist made multiple pieces for sale so it's not the only one out there.
