The NBA season begins tomorrow! Where did the time go? Speaking of, well, time... here's a pack from 25 years ago.
207 - David Benoit - A staple of those really good, but not quite elite Utah teams of the '90s.
274 - Lenny Wilkens - Wilkens started his NBA coaching career in the late '60s and is still alive and kicking today. He's in the Hall as both a player and coach.
135 - Armon Gilliam - I always enjoyed the Hoops card backs. Full color and full of stats. They even included the college stats for a time, which is really cool.
68 - Chris Mullin - A '90s star with a haircut you could set your watch to.
125 - Chuck Person - It looks like Chuck is getting ready to do some serious damage to the hoop.
188 - Wayman Tisdale - The jazz man testifies.
242 - Karl Malone All-Star - I wasn't a huge fan of the early '90s All-Star uniforms, but compared to what they trot out these days, they were downright amazing.
1 - Stacey Augmon - The Plastic Man throwing it down.
93 - Ron Harper - Sadly, we didn't get any Blazers in this pack, but we do have Ron Harper going up against post-goggles Buck Williams.
87 - Byron Scott - Longtime Laker and NBA head coach.
46 - Jamal Mashburn - Was this photo cropped to avoid showing that Dikembe was about to embarrass Mashburn? I think it was.
224 - Kenny Anderson All-Star - Another '90s star in his '90s All-Star jersey.
Mash was definitely gotten by Dikembe on that play!
ReplyDeleteIt's weird to see Byron wearing a Pacers jersey. So many great memories wearing #4 for the Showtime Lakers.
ReplyDeleteNot one of the great designs but very solid. Love the Augmon photo. Fun post and good pull.
