Random Wax: 1991-1992 SkyBox Basketball - 3 Packs

91-92 SkyBox:  SkyBox was something like nothing we'd seen in basketball cards and they kept it going with this set.  We got these cool GQ inserts highlighting sharp dressed men like Laker great, Magic Johnson.  His 11.2 assists per game average for his career is an NBA record.

Michael Adams was one of the excellent "small" guys in the NBA at 5'10".  He averaged over 6 assists per game for his career and averaged a career high 10 assists a game in 1990-1991.

This is back of Gill's All-Rookie Team card.  He would twice average 20+ points per game in a season.

I've always liked Michael Cage and Kelly Tripucka.  Two completely different players.  And everyone liked Manute Bol.

That back of the John Stockton Stats card highlights the league's leaders in assists per 48 minutes.  The stats are fun to look at and I like the write-up they add.

Mugsy Bogues was a whopping 5'3" but a fan favorite and had a really good career averaging 7.6 assists per game.

Otis Thorpe was a hard worker on the boards and known for his durability.  He won a championship with Houston in 1994 before being traded to Portland for Clyde Drexler helping the Rockets win a second consecutive title.

We love the backs of these cards as much of the fronts.  If not more.  The stats are not exciting but many of these photos bring a smile to my face.

These are just so much fun.  So many memories and a great set.  That Duckworth photo is too much fun at the expense of the Phoenix Sun defender.
