Random Wax: 2022-2023 Contenders Basketball Blaster with Relic

22-23 Contenders: Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns struggled to a first-round loss this year.  The big three of KD, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal haven't lived up to the hype yet.  Like the T-Wolves, maybe year two will work out better for the team under new coach Mike Budenholzer.
The small base set size means you'll normally get a good pull.  And we see that here with three more of the best from the league.  None are still in the playoffs but there's no doubting their star power.
Big man Jalen Duren averaged a double double for the Pistons this season while Moore Jr. and Wesley are still finding their footing.  I like the look of both the Rookie Stallions and Draft Class cards.
Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics are my pick to win it all at this point.  I'm curious what Dallas has for them, but the Celtics have so much talent especially in their starting five.
I really enjoy seeing the retired greats on these inserts.  Hakeem is a favorite of mine.  Cade Cunningham had another good season for the Pistons averaging 22+ points per game.
I
Trae Young, Donovan Mitchell and James Harden aren't 100% sure to play for their current teams in 2024-2024.  Even Towns has heard rumors of a possible change of location.  All great players but movement is common in the NBA.

  1. Historic Draft Class is cool insert. I like Hakeem looking dapper in the tux.

  2. Out of all of these cards... the thing that stood out the most to me was Kidd's tie.
