Classic Sports Card of The Day

08 Aug

From www.CheckOutMyCards.com ,1975 Topps basketball card of one of the greatest rebounders in NBA history, former Washington Bullets’ center Wes Unseld.  During his pro career, he was almost non-existent as an offensive threat, averaging barely over 10 points per game for the 14 years he played. Still, he was a major contributor defensively and under the boards, so dominant in fact that despite his paltry offensive stats, he was named one of the top 50 NBA players of all time and elected to the basketball Hall of Fame in 1988. Unseld helped the Bullets win the NBA title in 1978 and after retiring stayed with the team, serving in the front office and also as head coach for eight seasons.
