Day 6 of these heaters

Day 2 of posting my friends super cool jersey displays

Many people forget that Jermaine O’Neil was drafted by the Blazers at the age of 18 and it took him a few years to mature and develop, but when he did, he matured into a multiple time All-Star. He was a dominant big man who played taller than his 6’10” frame. His baby face was unassuming, but he could simply bang on those boards and it was good for about 20 points and 10 rebounds for a few years. He was good enough that he made the team USA but I team and represented us on an international scale. I think you should be a Hall of Famer, or at least it’s pretty close. They help revolutionized the interior of the Pacers teams for about eight years. This is a wonderful example of his team USA Olympic signed jersey.

I wanted to be sure to get my hands on two items. A full size helmet, and a jersey. I love the gray look with the Hawks colors, personally.

My LAST item I want to acquire is a game used item of Tyler's. It could even be a towel.. The ultimate Tyler Lockett collector grail, in my book. I would ask him to sign it to Riichard Rips, too. These items will NEVER leave my collection.

I spent 15+ years in the hospitality industry in Scottsdale, AZ where I had the privilege of meeting—and befriending—some of the greatest names in sports. One of the highlights was Auston, who generously signed my rookie card and even a personalized jersey.
