91-92 SkyBox: Two of the all-time great centers on one card. Having these two in the nineties was amazing. It's one thing to watch two stars but when you get to see them go against each other it's even better. I was surprised that Robinson and the Spurs had a big advantage head-to-head in games where these two squared off (30-12). Hakeem is one of my all-time centers. Top two or even at the top depending on the day. Robinson was amazing and probably top 10 all-time. Their career stats were fairly even. I'm a big fan of both.
This is a great set and there are so many memories for me. I've always loved the NBA. Charles Barkley had a hall of fame career and to me is just as accomplished in the studio. Chuck, Ernie, Kenny and Shaq do such a great job on Inside the NBA with the humor and insight. Just fun which is what it should be. And of course Chuck is always good for honesty.
These two combined for 3 Defensive Player of the Year honors and led the league in blocks 3 times. Hakeem 2X and Robinson 1X for each. I like these Single Game Performance cards.
Some guard love. I really like Hall of Famer Sidney Moncrief but I will admit seeing him in a Hawks uni always throws me off. He also won Defensive Player of the Year 2X in his career.
Centennial Highlights. What better highlight than the man who gave us the game.
And we love the backs. Even Charles Oakley.
Some of my all-time favorite players in Larry Smith and Trent Tucker. They feel somewhat random in my NBA fandom but I'm big fans. Both are in my top 10. I've always liked the hard-nosed Terry Cummings as well.
Defensive wizards abound in this post. Alvin Robertson led the league in steals 3X and holds the all-time average for steals per game at 2.7.
Tom Chambers was fun to watch. He was such an athletic big.
