Many years ago, in the late 1980s, I got this photo at a high school basketball game in Florida: https://www.greatpix.eu/Other/Stuff-from-the-20th-century/i-WPCbWs2/A <https://www.greatpix.eu/Other/Stuff-from-the-20th-century/i-WPCbWs2/A> Dumb luck in a way, at least the fact that both players have the same number. As for converting to B&W, I also tried shooting RAW+JPEG recently to get the JPEG in B&W. Like you, I ended up choosing to convert the RAW files to B&W instead of using the JPEG. The JPEGs were visibly inferior to the RAW.
