Card of the Week: We Talkin' About Christmas

There are a number of basketball cards out there that are Christmas themed, the most popular being the Fat Shawn Kemp holiday special.

Our gift to you this year is a young Allen Iverson sporting a Santa hat, part of SkyBox's ridiculous Mod Squad series.
We encourage you to check out other cards in the series if you're interested in seeing Stephon Marbury playing ping pong with a name tag on.

Jersey of the Week: Tony Delk Rookie Jersey

Currently going on eBay is an extremely rare Tony "50 Point Club" Delk rookie jersey.

It also doubles as a very effective Robert Parish psyche out jersey.

NB: Our fondness for Delk is the only thing we share in common with Ashley Judd.
