90-91 SkyBox: Due to his Navy service David Robinson didn't start play in the NBA until age 24 but man he didn't disappoint once he got on the court. He was nothing less than an amazing player and could do it all. Defense. Score. Pass the ball. I almost got to see him play during the 96-97 season but he was injured that year. That was also the season Pop took over as coach.
These are some of my favorites from the era. All three were great players with Walter Davis being elected to the Hall of Fame.
Such a great set that thought outside the box. Very colorful with such a unique design.
The backs were great too for the second photo which many times saw the players away from the court.
Three excellent scorers from the time. They all did it differently but were all fun to watch. Their best seasons scoring were 22, 29, and 26 points per game respectively.
Some point guard excellence and of course the GOAT to end it. Great photo and card of Michael Jordan.

Gotta vote for Jordan.
ReplyDeleteHe'll get top billing on one of my finals posts of this box of cards. It's a great card and photo.
DeleteThat Jordan is solid on both sides. Great card.
DeleteThe photos on the backs were quite the effort, looking back.
ReplyDeleteI'd think so too. Many aren't just random photos at the arenas.
DeleteOne of my favorite basketball sets of all time. I am still trying to complete the first series.
ReplyDeleteIt's worth collecting.
