Random Wax: 2020-2021 Chronicles Basketball

20-21 Chronicles:  Selection Sunday so let's do some Hoops.  Plenty of this one on the shelf back in the day and I like the variety.  We'll kick it off with Giannis who is having another season for the Milwaukee Bucks who are battling it out with the Boston Celtics for the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

This set is heavy on rookies.  Bane is a legit star for the Grizzlies averaging 21/5/4 while shooting 41% from deep.  Stewart may not be a star but is a solid big man for the Pistons.  That Honors is a good-looking card.  Bane's uni works well with the colors and design.
Haliburton is another guy who is a rising star earning his first all-star bid this year averaging 20 points and 10 assists with Indiana.  I like that first card shown here.
All three of these guys are greats in the league.  Morant is going through a rough patch but on the court he's a stud.  If feels like Trae Young really needs to figure it out under new coach Quin Snyder.  He can already fill up a stat sheet but needs to be more.  And LeBron is historically great at his age but is dealing with an injury.
I love Dame.  My Blazers are struggling but it isn't his fault.  Luka and Durant have had trades significantly impact this season.  It'll be interesting to see both situations play out.  Wow this was a great pack of cards.  I bought this pack 1 1/2 years ago and you never know how those young players will look when I finally get around to posting them.  The rookies in this pack and the strong veteran pulls made this a winner.

    1. I do too. I know opponents would be fine if he doesn't play anymore this year but he's one of the great talents in the game today.
