Random Wax: 2024-2025 Donruss Basketball

24-25 Donruss:   Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may well be the MVP this season.  He led the league in scoring as well as free throws and fields goals per game, while shooting 51% from the field and 37% from deep.
All three of these players helped get their teams into the second round.  Tatum and the Celtics have struggled while Edwards and Haliburton, and their respective teams have done well.
That Nikola Topic is a Holo Green Laser Parallel.
Under contract through the 2025-2026 season, Austin Reaves will likely not take his player option for 2026-2027 ($14M) and will look to secure a big payday with LA or another team.  By then LA should be in the midst of rebuilding around Luka, so it'll be interesting how this plays out.
Good pack of cards and a good pull.  I'm really enjoying the playoffs.  We've had some surprises and some really good games.  Fun time of the year.

  1. SGA wins it.

    Is that the same Derrick Rose who was really good for the Bulls but then got injured? Seems like he's been around forever.

    1. It is. 2023-2024 was his final season in the NBA. Played for the Bulls for seven seasons.

  2. Rose is getting his number 1 retired by the Bulls. Chicago media had some lively debate on whether or not his Bulls career deserved getting his number retired.

    1. Those arguments are tough. He was great for a very short period of time including an MVP season. Averaged about 58 games per season for the 7 season in Chicago. Averaged 19 points per game for them. Not being a Bulls guy I don't know which way I'd go with it.
