Chargers49ersTigers · March 25, 2010 5:27AM

Hello to all!!! NCAA, NIT, and NBA all heating up! So lets list our fav player and/or team set! My mom is from MI, so when Magic went to Lakers in 1979, that became our team. My fav player is Magic, and Bird vs Magic is the greatest of all time! Your cards or items can be any grade or company, no matter if it books 50 cents or $5,000, if its what you like, for bball, list it here! PSA BVG/BGS SGC GAI whatever, it goes here!

I don't have a 1989 SLU Bird vs Magic One on One, but I do have both cards from the SLU, pop is 3 and 5 in a PSA 10, so I am very glad I got the pair.

Also, check out my web link for my growing Magic collection. The Genuine Buyback Magic Auto 1/1 graded is my fav card so far.

I have to with Larry Legend being my favorite player. Growing up in the 80's in New England was awsome and the rivalry with the Lakers was intense.

Hey all,

I think this is a great place to ask this question.

I have been trying to find this out.

Does Stephon Marbury have a Chinese Baseketball Card ?

If so, can anyone help me obtain one /. thanks ?

I haven't heard of a Marbury card yet. He hasn't been there that long but I wouldn't be shocked if he got one eventually.

I am also a big fan of the 80's Lakers. I loved Magic, my best friend loved Bird, made for some great games in the back yard. I could never separate Magic from Kareem, they just go together. Here is one of my favorite Kareem cards, 1978 Pepsi 8x10:

Also a big fan of Pistol Pete, here is a 70's Superstar Sock card:

Growing up in Virginia my favorite of all was Ralph Sampson. I don't have any scans handy but will find something late tonight to add to this of King Ralph.

Big Maravich fan here too.

Looked for this card for two years, then found 2 within a month.

Chargers49ersTigers · March 25, 2010 10:11PM

Wow! The Kareem Pepsi 8x10 is very nice! Never seen one, never knew it exsisted! Makes the thread worth it to me, just to find that out! Also, stud Maravich card, never saw that before either. I know what you mean, about looking for 2 years, then find back to back dupes.

I have a sweet 1972 Topps PSA 7 with the exact same pic. My only graded basketball card.

Bird/Celtics fan

my favorite card is the Kelloggs Indiana State card, not sure why probably because he's in the college uni

College
Syracuse fan

favorite player Dwayne "the Pearl" Washington

LBJ. I think he may challange Jordan as greatest ever. Naturally he must win championships before the debate begins.

Socalguy1967 · March 26, 2010 2:10AM

I have been a Kobe fan since his first year in the league. I really admire his determination to win and his work ethic. We hear stories about him (here in LA) being the first one to practice and the last one to leave and just working hard all the time. I do believe that Lebron is a better all around player at this time (MVP)...... but with the game on the line.... I want number 24 taking the last shot.

I agree with you socalguy1967, Kobe is the closer over anyone. The only reason Lebron is "better" right now, is because he is younger. Someday he may get the mindset and figure it all out like Jordan and Kobe did. Hopefully not this season!

For me, it's easily Michael Jordan. Growing up in the late 80's and 90's in Northern Michigan... 8 hours from Detroit and 5 hours from Chicago... was a huge Bulls fan. It was great in Jr. High and High School the games between the Bulls and the Bad Boys. I still hate Bill Laimbeer with a passion to this very day!

Here is a snapshot of my Jordan PSA collection currently in the works!

I agree! I hate Laimbeer to!! Funniest comment so far.........

SidePocket · March 26, 2010 12:32PM

Magic Johnson for sure. 6 foot 9 point guard that plays center when needed in the NBA finals? Oh yeah.

Garabaldi · March 26, 2010 9:53PM

All of these players mentioned are in the top ten for NBA elite, except for Laimbeer. I still love the time R. Parrish Tomahawk chopped him and gave him what he deserved. I will put Bird as the player I would want to take the last shot with the game on the line.

Chargers49ersTigers · March 27, 2010 1:03AM

haha......poor laimbeer....no respect......yes, it was good when he'd get whats coming to him. I have the 1984-85 lakers dvd return to glory, and in the clinching game, bird must have been a little frustrated, cause he does something i find really amusing. he wasn't doing anything on purpose, but cooper was bringing up the ball after a celtic miss, he was just past half court when out of nowhere bird comes flying in at full speed head on into cooper. cooper bounces off him in a huge wipe out, and bird just stands there like "what the h-e double L did i just do".......very funny......good stuff.

Garabaldi · March 27, 2010 1:11AM

I also love it when Larry would not shake his hand before the game. You see him just wiping the bottom of his soles of his sneakers and Laimbeer is extending his hand and Larry is just ignoring him.

Kid4hof03 · March 27, 2010 5:01AM

Finally got around to doing a couple scans. First is a 70's Superstar Sock card of Jabbar I was asked to post:

Here are a couple of my favorite Ralph Sampson cards:
1985 Star 5x7

1980's card cutoff of a box of some sort, not really sure and then 1985 Jewel Prism

Chargers49ersTigers · March 27, 2010 9:52AM

Great stuff, never seen some of those before! Do you still have the socks?

Made some updates to my collection web page from items I just won today. Hope to win some more next few days! Thanks to all for all the pics and comments!

Chargers49ersTigers · March 29, 2010 1:16AM

Just made a nice addition to the collection! I really like the Star cards, all are great pics. Well, if no one else posts, I'll just let this thread pass away............Thanks for all the post though, great items!!!!
