91-92 SkyBox: Kevin Johnson had a great career playing 12 seasons for the Phoenix Suns. He was a 5X All-Pro and averaged 17 points per game and 9 assists per game for his career.
I like that James Worthy card. Was never a big Worthy fan but I like the look of this card. Rex Chapman throwing it down looks nice as well.
Basketball Centennial, Stats and Stay in School subsets. I like the variety here. The stats were sometimes random, but I do like league leaders or stats cards.
When you invent a game, you're a somebody. I wish he had gotten to see what the game has grown into. To know that he created this massively entertaining game that is played worldwide.
We love the backs. How can you not? Detlef's stare (and hair), Oakley interacting with fans and Scott Hastings being a goofball.
Tyrone Corbin was the only surprise for me here. Solid player. He averaged 18 points (career high) and 7 rebounds that season for Minnesota.
So much fun. There was so much great basketball in this era and so many great players and I've always been a big fan. Too much fun. We'll end it with a favorite of mine in 2X 6th Man of the Year Detlef Schrempf.

Such a wild set!
ReplyDeleteYep!
DeleteLooks like KJ's going up against Magic, so that one gets the win.
ReplyDeleteWorthy runner-up.
Johnson vs Johnson is a good pick.
DeleteGreat set. I totally regret not buying the complete set and binder last year (or the year before) at the flea market.
ReplyDeleteWe all have those regrets. I get it.
DeleteAnother great looking basketball set of the 1990s. I would love to find some packs in the wild of this product. For this round, I am going to say the Kevin Johnson card wins it.
ReplyDeleteThese are fun. No way to pass up on them when given the chance.
DeleteAlways fun to see these! Maybe not the card of the pencil :)
ReplyDeleteThe pencil definitely doesn't bring much excitement. LOL
