90-91 SkyBox: I don't want to go over the top with how good Tom Chambers was, but he was really good. He was very athletic for a big man and fun to watch. He topped 20 points per game five times in his career (2X over 25) and topped out at just over 8 rebounds per game one season for Phoenix.
Vlade Divac will forever be remembered as the guy who was traded for Kobe Bryant but he was a solid big man who averaged 11 points per game and 8 rebounds per game over his career. All three of these would move into the front office (Vlade and Dumars) or coach (Doc) after their playing years.
Sean Elliott was an underrated shooter and embraced the three-point shot, shooting 37% for his career.
Great photos as always on the backs of the cards. Mugsy looks like some player's kid who the team is letting play with a ball.
Some little man love. I misspoke. While Bogues was 5-3, Webb was 5-7, which is NBA short, but Michael Adams was 5-10. While not tall in the NBA that isn't short. He didn't look 5-10. Just saying.
Cliff Robinson played all three positions in the front court during his career. He played 18 seasons winning 6th Man of the Year once and was named to the All-Defensive team twice. As always, these cards are great and the memories so much fun.

Rodman elbowing Larry Bird in the face wins it. One of my favorite cards from this set.
