Photo credits
Top 10 shows a photograph for each of its ten entries. Almost all of them are freely licensed images from Wikimedia Commons, and the licences ask that the photographer be credited. Here they all are.
Country flags come from flagcdn.com and are public-domain national flags. NBA player headshots come from NBA.com and remain the property of the NBA — they’re used to identify the player, nothing more. If you own an image here and would rather it weren’t used, get in touch and it comes down.
