This is one of my favorite cards of all time! Not just out of the Bo cards I have, but of any cards. It takes us back to the late 80's & early 90's when Foot Locker would hold an annual "Slam Fest" slam dunk championship for non NBA players. Some notable participants include Barry Sanders, Ken Griffey Jr., Mike Conley Sr., Deion Sanders and Barry Bonds! Back then players were able to participate in events like this. Now, you wouldn't be able to pull off a Slam Fest due to injury concerns for big money players, but it's nice to know this was a thing and Bo participated and performed well enough to get a 3rd place finish! Enjoy Bo in all his hoops glory and check out the video below that showcases the 1992 event!
This was a fun set. Anything related to Foot Locker feels like it was multiple life times ago to me though, so much so that I often forget that that they even ever existed.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a relic of old times past!
