Basketball

I wrote this post back in August of 2014. Not sure why I never posted it. Not sure why I only choose those 3 cards. I suspect I was going to add a few more, but, oh well.  The James rookie card has skyrocketed recently. In fact I recently sold a three card lot of Upper Deck MVP rookie cards (a Lebron James and two Dwayne Wades).

I used to love the NBA. Growing up in Phoenix, we had the Suns long before we had the D-Backs.

We had KJ, Thunder Dan, and Tom Chambers. Then we got Charles Barkley and went to the NBA Finals and lost to Michael Jordan and the Bulls.

I was a huge Michael Jordan fan. I had multiple posters of him in my room and still have a couple hundred Jordan cards.

I used to watch NBA Inside Stuff every Saturday.

I collected basketball cards heavily from roughly 1990 - 2000. After that I focused primarily on baseball cards, but I still loved watching basketball and was a big Suns fan.

I loved watching the Suns play 7 seconds or less basketball. I still have a strong hatred for the Spurs and what happened in the 2007 NBA Playoffs.

After Nash, Stoudamire, and Marion all left I lost interest in the Suns, and the NBA for the most part. I've been to a few Suns games in the last couple years, but haven't watched a full game on TV in several years, other than an NBA Finals game or two.
