Ahead of the NBA Mexico City Games 2018, Mexican street artist Farid Rueda painted a mural to commemorate the event and the three participating teams.

In addition to imagery featuring the mascots of the Utah Jazz, Orlando Magic and Chicago Bulls, the mural features text reading "NBAMX2018," a League Pass discount code that supplies fans around the world (excluding China/USA) with a 30 percent discount on any League Pass package. 

The usage of bright colours and kaleidoscope-like effects are part of Rueda's signature style that pays homage to Mexican culture and heritage.
