1971 Topps basketball card of NBA Hall of Famer Bob Lanier, from www.CheckOutMyCards.com . A graduate of St. Bonaventure, Lanier played 14 seasons in the NBA with the Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks. He was an eight-time All Star, and his # 16 jersey is retired by both franchises. He was famous for his size 22 sneakers, and today, in a display at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, visitors can compare their shoe size with Lanier’s. Lanier served briefly as interim head coach of the Golden State Warriors in 1995 after Don Nelson resigned.
