Streetball Legends

[GarnettFan4Life]

From all my recent research these are the guys names that came up around Streetball and New York - the Legends

Cards I chase must be streetball related/mention something

Connie Hawkins​

Charlie Scott​

Wilt Chamberlain​

Earl Monroe​

Julius Erving​

Nate Archibald​

Rafer Alston​

Kareem​

Earl Manigault - couldn't find any cards of his ​

interesting that it varied from the info I had found 10 years ago or so and that I detailed in these threads

Thanks for looking mate! Yeah I'd hate to know how long but then again, it's been fun, entertaining, educational, everything a hobby should be I guess so why keep track!

Was gonna say good luck finding any of the Goat. I would love to see some Earl Manigault cards.

I get all that mate, Rucker Park caters for ballers all across the planet....
I thought you said every card had to reference the blacktop, streetball or Rucker Park etc. All I was suggesting is that the the Certified Red might have missed the mark Power Memorial being his high schoool. Interesting fact, I beleive the streak was snapped by DeMatha and legendary coach Morgan Wooten who didn;t have a single player taller than 6'8' on their roster!
