2001-2002 Fleer Ultra Basketball

01-02 Fleer Ultra: A pack I purchased last year.  I love busting old hoops wax.  Traded in his prime from Charlotte to Miami, Zo was a staple for the Heat for 11 seasons winning a championship with them in 2005-2006.

November 3, 1995: Traded by the Charlotte Hornets with LeRon Ellis and Pete Myers to the Miami Heat for Matt Geiger, Khalid Reeves, Glen Rice and a 1996 1st round draft pick (Tony Delk was later selected)

Unfortunately this pack was a brick. So lots of damage on almost every card.  The design is okay but the foil doesn't scan well.  There is a logo in the center between the first and last names.  Kind of bland design to me but there is plenty of room for the photos which are good.

I like the backs, even sans a logo.  You get all the stats and a decent write-up as well as a new photo.

I won't say Keith Van Horn was underrated but the man could shoot and score.  Defense wasn't his thing though.  Jamal Mashburn was even better.  He averaged 20+ points a game for four straight seasons as a hornet before a knee injury cut his career short at age 31.

Plenty of good players in this small pack.  I enjoyed it.  These guys were all solid and bring back plenty of fun memories.  No breakdown today.  There were 10 total cards in the pack with no inserts or special cards.
