2023-2024 Donruss Basketball Mega Box

23-24 Donruss:  The NBA All-Star game is tonight and Donruss hit the shelves locally within the last few days.  We get to see players in their new uniforms in Donruss like seeing Dame as a Buck.  Milwaukee has "struggled" this year leading to Doc Rivers taking over as coach.

Wow, what a pull.  I think it was one of my last three packs where I pulled a Nokic, LeBron and either Kawhi or Giannis.  There are 150 cards in these boxes so in theory you should do well.  Approximately 250 base cards including rookies based on last year's set (no checklist for this set yet).

Keyonte George is having a solid rookie season for Utah averaging 11 PPG and 4 APG.  Nice draft pick at #16 in the first round.

Who doesn't hope for a Wembanyama?  He's doing great averaging 20/10/3 this year and you have to assume he'll get better.  Portland still isn't seeing the franchise part of Scoot Henderson yet but hopefully that'll happen sometime soon.  Thompson is averaging 8 PPG and 6 RPG for Detroit.

LeBron hot pack.  No complaints from me.  I like the Magicians and Franchise Features inserts.  Bomb Squad is okay.

Holo Green and Red Laser parallels are exclusive to Mega Boxes.  No red for me which was a disappointment.  The green is a great match on this Jaylen Brown card though.  The front design isn't great to me.  I first saw it with 2023 Donruss Football and didn't like the design there either.  The backs are blah but par for the course.

Donovan Mitchell is having another great season while Paulo Banchero is even better in year two being named Rookie of the Year in his first season.  I'm not a Kyrie guy but he can fill up the stat sheet.  Dallas has figured something out of late winning 7 of 9 including 6 straight.

More greats in the league.  Tons of base cards.  It feels like some more inserts would be appropriate in the packs and boxes.

Clippers showing out.  Los Angeles is another team that has figured it out.  I think they are as dangerous as any in the Western Conference.  Definitely a fun box and we'll end it with another Milwaukee Buck.
