Random Wax: 2020-2021 Contenders Basketball

Contenders 20-21:  Today we'll look at another of these packs that I bought in 2021.  Trae Young, and my Hawks, are struggling this year.  His shooting is down and I think he's still getting used to new backcourt teammate Dejounte Murray who is having a good year but is also not quite there yet.  Still early so there is hope Atlanta can turn it around.
These small sets always offer up great pulls.  Almost always.  This one is a great one.  Dame and LeBron could easily headline this pack and there is more star power to com.  Portland has shown signs of life this year but are still inconsistent and may still be a player or two away from truly being a playoff team.  LeBron is having an amazing season at age 38 but injuries to Anthony Davis mean we don't truly know who LA is.
Avdija is playing doing pretty good for the Wizards and TJ Warren is getting quality minutes with Brooklyn now while RJ Hampton is coming off the bench for Orlando.
John Wall is doing well coming off the bench for the Clippers.  CJ McCollum is starring for the Pelicans who are surprisingly third in the Western Conference.  Collins is really struggling for the Hawks who are having buyer's remorse from the big contract they gave him two years ago.  As long as Joel Embiid can stay healthy, he should be the league MVP this year.  But don't count out Jokic.  The Nuggets and him have been surging of late.

  1. LeBron is having a MVP caliber season in myopinion. The numbers he is putting up at his age are crazy. Sure injuries are slowing him down some but he is still a great player. Awesome card of LeBron by the way.

    1. LeBron is having a crazy great year for his age and any age. I'm enjoying watching him. Who knows how many more seasons he has in him.
