Yeah, I know it’s not one of the “good” credentials from 1997, 1998, 2003, or 2006 (but I DO have a 2006 that I posted earlier!). But it’s still a numbered high-end credentials parallel from one of the best players of all-time. And it’s super cool in-hand.

Until Jokic, Nowitzki was the best European basketball player to ever play the game. (I mean, maybe Sabonis would have been if he played his whole career in the NBA, but we will never know). Now Jokic and maybe Giannis are above him, but Nowitzki could just flat out play. And he won a title. Great shot, good basketball IQ, length, and a nice guy, to boot. This is my favorite card that I have of his. Until I get a nice game-used patch auto, at least.
