There are many ways to marvel from afar at professional athletes. Setting a picture of a star like LeBron James as your phone background, buying his jersey or hanging a poster of him on your wall are all commonplace in our society.

But one NBA fan -- Yujia Hu, a sushi chef in Italy -- took it a step further by crafting sushi rolls and other cuisine based on NBA players and famous footwear of professional athletes. It's food art like you've never seen it before. with Paul Pierce, James Harden and Kyrie Irving all featured in his latest masterpiece menu options. He even created a salt bae option!
