I love the balance of defense, length, and shooting he brings. If he could only stay healthy. Thankfully. He helped deliver a banner to Boston. Sad to see him go and wish him the best. This is the best card I have of “The Unicorn”. Rookie Patch Auto. Stunning in hand.

Panini hit it out of the park with these game used Bill Russell tribute patch cards. I see in the new Panini silhouettes there are some of these tribute patch cards in that set as well, but the design isn’t as crisp as this. This perfectly displays in the center of the card the game used patch with the player that wore the patch on the left and Russell on the right. Yes, I wish that Porziņģis was still on the Celtics, or at least in the Celtics uniform for this card, but I’m still thrilled to have this as part of my collection. It memorializes the championship, banner That he brought to the Celtics before being traded.

Man, it’s been a tough summer as a Celtics fan. I understand why it had to be done, but that doesn’t make it less painful. The new collective bargaining agreement is brutal on teams, trying to keep their core together. Still, KP helped to deliver banner 18 to the Celtics. This is a pretty bad-ass rookie patch auto featuring the large chunk of the Knicks logo. I haven’t decided if I’m gonna keep it or move it now that he’s no longer a Celtic. But I wish him all the best luck in Atlanta, he truly is a unicorn.

After last night’s game two Celtics win over the magic KP had a fantastic game! Even without Jayson Tatum, the Celtics managed to find a way to win with a balance attack. Porziņģis got nailed with an elbow to the face and was bleeding all over the court, yet returned to make his free throws before going back to the locker room and get five stitches and then return to action. What a warrior! If this team can stay healthy, not much will stop them from going back to back.
