TJD is one of the best power forwards to ever play in the Big Ten. He is an Indiana University Hoosier legend, and the son of former Indiana Pacer Dale Davis. Given his size, he was a bit of a tweeter… Making his success in the NBA questionable. He was the late second round pick by the Golden State Warriors and did show some flashes of being able to play at the NBA level. I love collecting autographs of players in my alma mater’s uniform. I’ll always root for him and hopefully he has a long career in the NBA.

One of the greatest coach’s to ever do it. 🪑

This game capped off a perfect season for the Indiana Hoosiers. 32 wins. ZERO losses. A perfect 32-0. Unbelievable. One of the crowning achievements for Coach Knight and IU. A cool relic from a significant moment in NCAA history! I went to IU in the early 1990’s and was glad to be there in the Bob Knight era!

Often the best cards of the biggest names are far too expensive for me to buy into. So I look for players that I love that are more affordable to collect. Enter Victor Oladipo. I’ve followed him since his college days and through his NBA career in Orlando, OKC, Indiana and Miami. I wished he would have stayed in Indiana where the hometown crowd loved him. This is one of his best rookie cards, a true vertical National Treasures RPA graded a gem mint BGS 9.5. Hope he’s able to make a comeback next year!

Anyone outside of Indiana might not even know the name. But, unlike the current one-and-done or NIL college landscape, Yogi played for 4 years for the Hoosiers and was a floor general and leader of some great Hoosier teams. He had some limited success jn the NBA for a couple years as a PG for the Mavs and Kings. He will always be an IU legend and this was my very first 1/1 card (before there were a million 1/1 card every year). The Hoosiers team will have to rebuild with a new coach and system.
