90-91 SkyBox: Charles Barkley was the Round Mound of Rebound long before he was the analyst we've grown to love and hate. I do really enjoy Chuck as an analyst. He's honest, goofy, fun and sometimes talks out of place and I enjoy it all.
I like all three of these photos. Nate McMillen was scaring players with this dunk. Maybe that is A.C. Green of the Lakers below him? Great battle under the boards from two of the best big men of the era in Charles Oakley and Buck Williams.
Man these backs are great. And it's all about the photos. Did Chuck and Tom Chambers go to their local Glamour Shots studio for these photos?
Tom Chambers really was a good big man. Very athletic, good hands and a nice mid-range shot. Maybe defense wasn't his thing, but he was fun to watch.
Hall of Famer Alex English was an amazing scorer. He could do it inside as well as with that sweet jump shot shown off below. I'm a big fan. He averaged 21.5 points per game for his career even though he wasn't starting games until his third year in the league. His scoring run from 1981 to 1989 was amazing.

Not sure if Wilkins is dunking it or not... but that's my favorite action shot of the post.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how long I look at that one I can't tell.
DeleteBarkley wins it.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why the Celtics had Dennis Johnson guarding him, but I've seen stranger match-ups on cards.
It's a fun oddity. Have to hope there was a defensive pick on a pick.
DeleteAlways fun to see these cards!
ReplyDeleteSo true.
