In honor of Halloween, this 1975 Topps basketball card, from www.CheckOutMyCards.com , of former Houston Rockets guard Mike Newlin, wearing his Geico caveman Halloween costume. Actually, that isn’t a costume…it’s the way athletes looked in the 1970s. Newlin was a decent NBA player, playing 11 seasons with the Rockets, New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks. His best season was in 1980-81, when he averaged over 20 points a game with the Nets.
