Why no other Basketball skins?

we all know that Darius has his noxus basketball skin, but why are there not more?

i only bring this up because being a Zilean main i feel like riot is missing the opportunity.

picture with me the Urtistan basketball team. we see zilean with knee high white socks and short shorts like you would see in any 60s basketball game. a scoreboard on his back and a huge orange afro. reskin his bomb to be a basketball, and he's shooting three pointers all game.

im curious are the others? if so who and why do you think they would make the leauge basketball team?

There is only one Dunkmaster.

Sadly, Yi didn't get the skin.

I actually really like that idea, and would love to see a basketball Zilean..

But its dunkmaster sadly. Only those who dunk can be eligible.

More sports themed ones would be fun. Like "Left Field Zyra", where she wears a stupid hat and both her and her thornspitters throw baseballs instead. But for Basketball, one would have to consider Veigar also. Q and his Auto becomes a basketball. His W is a giant basketball that bounces back up after it hits the ground, and his E could be a giant hoop or something.

Honestly, forcing it to only be basket seems like a wasted opportunity. We've already got a lot of soccer skins, but personally, I'd see Zilean more like a Volleyball player with the way his bombs work. We've got an ice hockey Jax as well, so just in general more sports skins. Tennis Poppy could also be super cool. Baseball Diana, Cricket Ekko, I'm sure there are plenty more that I just can't think of at the moment.

J4 doesn't get a dunk skin? Kha'Zix doesn't get a dunk skin?

Literally everyone in the original dunk squad video with the phantom dancers and shyrelia's reveries don't get skins?

WHY NOT??!?!?!?

There needs to be a Zigg's basketball skin. After launching off his W, he would look like he was about to dunk his basketball. His Q, R, and auto attacks would just be him shooting. His E(the minefield) could look like he just laid down a tiny basketball court.
