Random Wax: 1990-1991 Hoops Basketball (6 Packs)

90-91 Hoops:  We'll kick off this one with Reggie Miller, one of the greatest shooters of all-time.  He was fun to watch and always good for a soundbite.  Also a good analyst today.
Hard to go wrong with this set.  So many NBA greats.  Solid design.  And lots of fun.  Hall of Famer Mitch Richmond was a member of the Warriors' Run TMC and the man could he shoot.
Love the All-Star cards!  Another Reggie appearance and two of the best bigs of all-time.
Mookie in one of those great Nets jerseys.  Another great shooter in Drazen Petrovic who passed away way too young.  And the "T" of Run TMC and Hall of Fame member.
Dan Majerle would be that 3 and D guy in today's game.  Doug Moe's NBA career was delayed by being suspended due to alleged gambling contacts.  Who knew?  I enjoyed watching Jeff Malone.  I'd just call him smooth.  He didn't shoot 3s but he could shoot and he could score.  
These three are great players and great scorers.  Fun stats to look at.
Favorites of mine in Buck, Larry Smith, and Reggie Theus.  No rhyme or reason but these guys have been all-time favorites from the get-go.  I really like Larry Legend but most of that comes from after he retired.  He killed my Hawks and honestly it was hard to really get to know Larry Bird in the 80s.  NBA coverage had finally gone national but getting to really know guys or hear the cool stories that we didn't hear for years wasn't the norm yet.

BREAKDOWN:
90 – Total Cards (6 Packs)
14 – Rookie
9 – All-Star
8 – Coach
