21-22 Hoops: LaMelo Ball is good. He and the Hornets seem to be on the upswing. They have a solid team with surprise rookie Kon Knueppel really helping them this season. When I was young, I subscribed to Slam magazine, and I have always liked these inserts. Good job Hoops.
KAT is now a Knick and in a really good photo here. The Phoenix Suns are a surprise team this year after trading away KD in the offseason and we get LaMelo's base card. This design has always been a solid Hoops look.
Evan Mobley has developed into an excellent big man for the Cavs and is the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
Lights, Camera, Action are favorites of mine and the only horizontal options in Hoops.
A Purple and a Blue Parallel. De'Aaron fox is great at getting to the basket with his speed and here he gets a nice photo. Jalen Green is now a Phoenix Sun.
I picked up this blaster in 2022 and I'm just getting around to sharing it. Yep, 'Melo was a Trail Blazer for two seasons before ending his career in LA. Chris Paul recently announced his retirement after a Hall of Fame career.
Skyview, Class of 2021, and Pure Players inserts. Plenty of variety in Hoops which is always good. I like the Class of 2021 inserts design.
Another good-looking Lights, Camera, Action insert. Pascal Siakam has since become an Indiana Pacer helping them get to the NBA Finals last season.
A fun box of cards and lots of good photos. I enjoy going through these after time has gone by and seeing what a difference 4 years can make in this instance.

Awesome box of cards with several good ones for sure. The Zion is a winner for sure and the Mobley and Morant are great too. The photo on the Morant is outstanding; too bad he can't stay healthy. The recently retired Chris Paul gets some love too.
ReplyDeletePlenty of good photos in my pull for sure. I was very happy.
DeleteThat SLAM Magazine insert is cool. When I was into the Lakers and the NBA, I loved reading them. In fact I still have a Kobe poster from one of the issues hanging up in my office.
