  • Who Is Your Favorite Basketball Player?

    Basketball has been the main sport I have followed and collected for more than 20 years. I have always been a die hard Lakers fan. My favorite basketball player when I was a kid was Magic Johnson. Watching him as a kid in the late 1980s was an amazing sight. The way he controlled the tempo of the game along with his flashiness was something not seen in those days. Today, my favorite player is Kobe Bryant.

    Chauncey Billups, the heart and soul of the Pistons when he was in Detroit, I remember the day I heard he was traded, it was like a punch to the gut

        I remember the Piston's Championship run with Billups running point, I was so excited when they took down the All-Star Lakers and stopped them from completing a "4-peat". A great year for Laker haters.

        As for my favorite player, it's Michael Jordan, big surprise. Outside of the 90's Bulls though, my favorite is probably Kirk Hinrich. The Bulls was really really terrible before he came along and things started to get better and better after his RC year. He was a good leader and I really liked watching him and Rose in the backcourt together, so I was disappointed when he was traded to the Wizards of all teams.

            Jeremy - hopefully when the season starts Kyrie Irving can give the Cavs fans something to cheer for.

              Kevin Garnett! Love his enthusiasm and passion for the game. Reminds me every time I look at his 95-96 Finest RC, such a great card.
              Cheers,

                  I really like it when I see peoples fav players that are not the normal! And the reasons behind it are cool too - like they went to the college or know a friend of the player or it's a good way to pick up awesome cards of the player without busting the budget or they like hall of fame calibre players or a team etc etc good stuff
                  Cheers,

                            So many choices! In the past my absolute favorite was Gilbert Arenas, his fun personality, explosive scoring and awesome buzzer beaters were all frickin sweet to me. Present is hard to say. My favorites are between John Wall and Trevor Booker. Wall for obvious reasons (lightning in a bottle basically). Booker is an absolute animal, he'll definitely get shine once Blatche is traded and he gets more minutes.
