Random Wax: 2020-2021 Chronicles Basketball

20-21 ChroniclesDonovan Mitchell is off to another great season with the Cavaliers.  Whether in Utah or in Cleveland this guy always flies under the radar though he really is an amazing player.
Not all the designs in Chronicles are hits but that is the good thing with this brand.  You can move on to the next one if you don't like one.  Great pull in this pack.  Giannis is getting used to new teammate Dame Lillard while Paul George and the Clippers recently added Jame Harden.  LeBron and the Lakers are struggling but if they can stay healthy it feels like they can have a get on a roll.
KD is now in Phoenix which now has its own trifecta in Durant, Booker and Beal.  Luka and the Mavs are off to a hot start.  They really need Kyrie and Doncic to click.  This is the Classic design.
Stewart is a key big man starting for Detroit while Obi Toppin could have his best season as a Knick.
Immanuel Quickly comes off the bench but is a good scorer in New York.  
I do like this base design but they could have snuck in a logo somewhere.  Marquee inserts are a good looking card.  Still sad to have seen Dame leave in the offseason.  Hasn't been all roses yet in Milwaukee but you have to think they'll figure it out.  Great pack of cards.  Some fun designs and a really nice pull.

  1. Giannis wins it.
    Mitchell has the best card though.
    I don't know how old you are, but LeBron was really good back in the day.

    1. I'm old enough to have watched Michael Jordan come into the league. Became a fan of the NBA around '79 when I was 10. In my book LeBron is a close second to MJ all-time. And he's still amazing. The numbers he's putting up at his age is crazy. Been great to be able to watch both of those guys.

  2. I won't count the Lakers out until they're actually out because of LeBron. Thanks for sharing!

    1. Very true. They are still a little inconsistent but have played better ball of late.
