Random Wax: 2021-2022 Hoops Blaster

21-22 Hoops:  Kick off today with some basketball and a set I like.  I also like Giannis though he and the Bucks "stole" Dame from my Blazers.  Ugh.  That said, I'm curious what the Bucks look like.  Khris Middlton needs to be healthy and find his long range shot again but otherwise Milwaukee really is set to make a deep run into the playoffs.

I like this set's design sand I've opened plenty of the set and showed it off here and have plenty more to show off over time.  Some good star power in the box and some personal collection guys like DeMar DeRozan.

None of these three have stamped their mark on the league.

Slam inserts are always a favorite of mine and we get to see retired greats as well as current league greats.  That Payton cover looks really good.  Nice LeBron photo on that Frequent Flyers insert as well.

Never thought of Franz Wagner as a guard unitl I saw this insert.  Probably more of a 3 but no matter where you play him the man has skills. Corey Kispert has had a solid two seasons with the Wizards.  And KAT is maybe the best shooting big man in the league.

Lights Camera Action is always a favorite of mine.  Kyrie is no longer in Brooklyn and Mavericks fans are really hoping he and Luka can figure it out in Dallas after Irving signed a new deal.

Loe that photo of Clint Capela.  Nurkic recently packed his bags for Phoenix as part of the Lillard three-team trade.

What happens with James Harden is the big story left of the preseason.  Philly is in a no-win situation.  Harden, though still a star, is looked at much differently than Lillard is and won't be easy to trade for value.

Everyone loves Boban Marjanovic even if he's not a star on the court.  Embiid probably can't wait for the Harden situation to play out and find out what the 76ers will look like come opening day.
