Random Wax: 1991-1992 SkyBox Basketball - 3 Packs

91-92 SkyBox:   I've said it before, but while I knew how great Larry Bird was when I saw him play but never got to enjoy him.  He was always ruining things for my Hawks it seemed.  He won 3 MVP trophies and was top 4 in MVP voting overall 9 consecutive years.   

Kevin McHale wasn't pretty.  He wasn't smooth but he just did so many things right.  The Hall of Famer was a 7X All-Star, 3X Champion, 2X 6th Man of the Year, 6X All-Defensive and 1X All-NBA.

Dennis Scott went on to shoot an amazing 39.7% from three-point range for his career.  He would have loved today's game.

SkyBox was ahead of their time in some of the stats they highlighted on their League Leaders cards.

Who didn't like John Starks?  Wait, who did?  He was part of those gritty Knicks teams of the 90s and they had plenty of enemies.  I'm sure New York fans loved him.

They had some pretty cool looking inserts/subsets.  I like seeing the Hornets mascot on the All-Star Weekend Stay in School card.

Some foreboding for the last card of this post.  I liked how this set showcases highlights from the NBA Finals.

The backs were fun.  We get to see players in not the norm photos.  We even see Larry smile.  I'm digging Chris Mullin's tracksuit.  Oh the memories.

Jordan and the Bulls would go on to win 5 more championships after the 1991 NBA Finals victory over the Lakers, beating them 4 games to 1.  So many memories with this set and so much fun to show off.
