2000-2001 Victory: This is a pack I purchased on eBay in 2022. We'll kick it off with John Stockton. Nineteen seasons with the Utah Jazz he was nothing short of great. An 11X All-Pro selection, 5X All-Defensive selection. Led the league in assists nine times total in nine straight years and the league in steals twice. He was so much fun to watch because he was just so consistently great at what he did.
I wasn't familiar with this set prior to opening this pack. I really like the design. The colors, logo, player position, player number and good photos all work for me. There are 330 total cards in the set. I thought my pull was great.
There are three subsets - Rookies, Leaders, and Fly Kobe Bryant/Fly Kevin Garnett. Desmond Mason is easy to overlook but averaged a solid 12 PPG for his career. McDyess led Denver in scoring and rebounding in the1999-2000 season. Kobe and Garnett had 25 cards each in their Fly subset. Nice looking Kobe card and one of the few around the rim photos you'll find in the set. Maybe my only knock on the set.
The backs are nice showing off career stats, team record from the previous season and a little color. I love the All-Time Team Record Holders section at the bottom. And look at those stats of Hakeem's.
This was a fun pack and I'll look for more in the future. We get a nice Ty Lue appearance of the future NBA coach. We'll end it with more greatness in Hakeem.
