The (un)official PC Showdown Special Comments Guy
Just thought I'd scan in a small Pistons mailday while I have some time... I think they'll be the big improvers in the next couple of years with Stan Van in charge.
If anyone has any cheap Isiah Thomas let me know as I'll be helping out of my junior ballers with his PC.
Mark Aguirre GU
The man who replaced Adrian Dantley and gave the bad boys some additional bite at SF. After reading the Jordan Rules I remember one of my favourite anecdotes was Aguirre threatening to kill Pippen in the parking lot after the game and calling him all manner of names under the sun. A real interesting character....
Isiah Thomas / Bill Laimbeer GS Dual Auto
The real cheap shot artist who gave guys the second foul as they drove to the hoop against the Pistons (they only ever call the first foul, right) so Bill was probably the most hated player in the NBA. About as cheap and nasty as it got. Still, when you're drafted 69th overall you have to get by on a bit more than just talent alone...
Isiah Thomas Spectra auto and UB Black Scenes
The engine which drove the bad boy Pistons and one of the best PGs of all time. Kind of screwed over by Jordan and co when he was left off the original Dream Team but this former Finals MVP was capable of huge scoring outbursts - a real smiling assassin!
As for the cards I can't get enough of that Spectra Blue shimmer and the booklets are the absolute bomb!
Now for perhaps my favourite Piston of all time and about as far removed from the Bad Boy culture as one could possibly be...
Grant Hill Silhouette! My first and only Grant Hill auto, lovely looking card, nice big on card auto and showing off his skills with the ball and gazing down the court with that great court vision he had as a point forward. Classy act both on and off of the court...had to be in Pistons uni too, was never really the same player after injuries took their toll......
Well that's it for now folks, thanks for having a squiz and a bit of a read. Comments and likes always most appreciated!
