Here's the first pack of repack box that (unfortunately for my wallet) further rekindled my interest in basketball cards. This pack didn't do a whole lot on its own to do that, but you've got to start somewhere, right?
26 - Andres Nocioni (Nocioni is one of the lesser known Argentinian NBA players - the best known being Manu Ginobili. He recently headed to the sinking pit of a franchise that is the Sacramento Kings after spending the first part of his career with the perpetually up and coming Bulls.)
6 - Shelden Williams (This pack is a little older than I thought, as I did a double take when I saw the Hawks old jerseys. I like their current jerseys, but I wonder what made them decide to pretty much go away from red altogether.)
85 - Luke Walton (Ugh, a Laker, and not even a good Laker.)
175 - Ray Allen (Ray Allen left the Sonics behind and then the Sonics left Seattle behind and became the abomination of a franchise that they are today.)
SC-21 - Ben Wallace Season Crowns (Ben Wallace has been in decline ever since he left Detroit. When this offensively challenged player lost his usefulness on defense, he pretty much became a worthless player.)Does anyone collect basketball cards at all? Drop me a line if anyone is up for a trade (hint: I don't intend to keep any of this stuff if it's not Blazers-related.)
