There's a story (possibly apocryphal) about how the Soviets wanted to erect a statue of Lenin in Lithuania. It was one of those, "come follow me and go in the direction I'm pointing" types of socialist-realism statues.

So the Lithuanian workers erected it so that it was pointing at the city prison.

Maybe “Lenin shoots a basket” was inspired by the giant mural at the University of Notre Dame of Jesus signalling a touchdown.
