With his rookie card being next to impossible to find in nice shape, I was happy to pick this one up and it just came back graded.
It's fascinating how people are all over the map on how he would have fared in the NBA. I think some folks' gut reaction is slow white guy, but then again wasn't Larry Bird a slow white guy? Kobe has said he would have been a superstar, but many disagree. Regardless, the "Holy Hand" has to be one of the very few greatest nicknames in sports.
