Houston, TX (I-Newswire) February 20, 2013 - The National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA) has once again joined forces with the National Basketball Association (NBA) to host the “14th Annual Legends Brunch,” wrapping up NBA All Star weekend festivities.

Mint Creations is a New York based 3D laser company, which has been in business for more than seven years, creating lasting, distinctive, rare individual crystals. The company developed their own state of the art preparatory software that takes 2D images and transforms them into 3D images.

“It was an honor and a privilege to represent Mint Creations in the “14th Annual Legends Brunch,” we think every player is a legend and that should be respected. We want to honor every legend with a timeless crystal keepsake. Our crystals featured the players image, which will never fade, it is something timeless they can pass down to their kids and families from generation to generation, it is a priceless keepsake,” said Izzy Roditi, Owner and CEO of Mint Creations.
