    not sure if anyone here collects basketball cards, but I started as a youngster collecting Hakeem cards and then slowly stopped but still buy a couple of packs now and then just to see the new stuff around, the game jersey and all is a cool concept

    But anyway

    The newest beckett issue with shaq in a bulls jersey on the cover if you flip to the last page in the magazine in their final thoughts column the writer talks about the 95 rockets. He praises them and explains what they did was just down right amazing, beating the teams they did and in the fashon they did. He also says Hakeem was just plain sick and that even if Jordan stayed in the league those years even the Bulls would have had a tough time beating the rockets.

    Kinda nice to see Dream get some props, albeit 10 years later

    It also shows 3 Olajuwon cards that is a 'must have' for fans, they were the 86-87 Fleer Rookie card, 93-94 Topps Finest, and i believe 95-96 Fleer Towers of Power insert. (i have all three plus a couple hundred more in my collection :D )

    but just thought I'd share

    Love for the Rockets Champion Team, no way. But its good to hear the Rockets get some love.

    10 years ago, the Rockets made history, its only fate that they do it again.

    i used to collect...
    those were the days, before the $50, 1 card packs ruined the hobby.

    Why was Shaq in a Bulls jersey? Just for kicks? Or was it the work of some optimistic Eddy Curry fans? :confused:

    there was an article in the issue about players being in new towns next season, they showed a picture of Kobe in a possible nuggets jersey

    it also talked about how francis may be traded
