The Slam Dunking Skeleton Skullman design was actually created independently by Olympics sports artist Greg Speirs. Speirs acquired the status of being the major sponsor of the team by donating 100% of his profits which were the major funds generated from the sales of his trademarked “Slam Dunking Skeleton” & property to fund the Lithuanian Olympic basketball team's journey to the Olympics, after their newly found independence and breakaway from the Soviet Union. He donated all further profits that were due to him that year to Lithuanian children's charities which amounted to at least over $400,000. dollars.
For me, I wanted to create an image of the slam dunking skeleton symbolizing coming up from the ashes and from nothing, overcoming obstacles, jumping over, and reaching up to slam dunk that ball up and over and into the net.”, Greg Speirs)
