software used: photopaint 11
I started out by duping the background to a new layer and running a smart blur on it to smooth it down to some base colors/tones.
I masked of the player and made a new object of him, then duped it again. On the "bottom" copy of the player I ran an Alchemy stroke pattern of Spatula Angular with some random settings. On the "top" copy of the player I ran a Find Edges and then set the merge mode for this layer to LOGICAL AND.
I masked off the hoop and ball and did the same steps to these two layers as I did the player with the exception that the Alchemy stroke used was Spatula Abstract.
On the background that had the Smart Blur run, I ran another Alchemy stroke - Spatula Crosshatch.
I put in a couple of Hue/Saturation/Brighness lenses to brighten things up. I also made Clipmasks on the four layers of the player and the ball/hoop. I used these to clean up the "outside" strokes and confine the pattern to those specific objects.
Don't know how much in-style I've made it to the challenge, but hope it's somewhat close. I'm afraid I had to compress it down so much that the JPG artifacting will interefere

 JCH, thanks for the comments! If you are interested, Corel does have downloadable demos on their website.

Spatula Crosshatch -- what an interesting name for an artistic filter. You certainly acheived the color-mixed background that I see in a Neiman.

heh, yeah, it is an odd name - but it does look like you'd taken a spatula full of paint and did a crosshatch pattern, doesn't it? Thanks for the kind words, CJ!

Increase the saturation a bit. Other than that it definitely does the job! Photo-Paint, huh? I"ll check it out for sure.
