Pretty sure MJ thought he was doing an Oprah promo.

Card of the Week: LeBron James vs Trevor Ariza

This is almost encroaching on "Who Dunked It Better?" territory, but we're running this as Card of the Week out of courtesy to the fine men and women of Upper Deck.

It is not often that we are forced to choose between LeBron's iconic first game dunk and Trevor Ariza's shoes.


NB: Ariza's highlights from his time in New York include some very large dunks.

We think this is Keeyon Dooling losing his mind following a Vince Carter windmill in transition.

Card of the Week: Andrew Gaze Udine Wild Card

In 1991-92, Gazey was in the north east of Italy dropping 30 a night for Udine.

During his European vacation, he also found time to tell the wife of the Udine GM how massive his catso was.

True story.

Here's the Wild Card to end all Wild Cards. Shout out to Banca Del Friuli aka Old Money.

Jersey of the Week: The "Glen Rice's Mom" Sweater

The '89 NCAA Final saw Glen Rice light up the underdog Seton Hall Pirate and deny our man Gazey a fairytale finish to his College career.

It also featured possibly the greatest garment of any NCAA tournament. Glen Rice Jr's grandmother took it to the next level and she is most deserving of Jersey of the Week, regardless of the fact it is not a jersey.
