Pompano Sports Legends
Artist: Steven Teller
Location: McNair Park Recreation Center, 951 NW 27th Ave, Pompano Beach, FL 33069
The City of Pompano Beach commissioned artist Steven Teller for the design and installation of a mural located on the south exterior wall of the McNair Park Center. The theme of the mural is Sports Legends of Pompano Beach.
The Sports Legends of Pompano mural honors the incredible athletes who trained and competed at McNair Park in Collier City, many of whom went on to achieve greatness in the NCAA, NFL, NBA, the Olympic Games and beyond. More than just sports icons, these individuals dedicated themselves to their community through coaching, mentorship, and advocacy. Steven Teller states, “Throughout this project, I had the privilege of connecting with so many people who had personal ties to these athletes—whether as family, teammates, coaches, or simply inspired members of the community. It was truly a blessing to paint this mural, share these stories, and see the excitement from the kids who use this park every day as a place for growth, friendship, and inspiration.”
The portraits in order from left to right: James Jones, Latoya Jordan, Iris Davis, Tommy Hunter, Lamar Jackson, Shayla Sanders, Tyrone Carter, and Johnny Jones.
