It’s Throwback Thursday so let’s go back through Upper Deck’s trading card history and come up with a fun giveaway.

Harlem Globetrotters…let’s see you dribble and play hot potato down the court
Is that a booger on the ball? I can’t touch that!
HOT POTATO! HOT POTATO!!
I swear the fish was this big
This round orb-like object is just Exquisite!
Look Knight, if you keep your eye on the ball you’ll play more and not be a bench warmer!
Watch as I make this ball vanish into thin air.
“Can we please light up the entire arena and not put a spotlight on the guy who has the ball?”
Oh dang my foot fell asleep.
“Hot potato..HOT POTATO!”
Havlicek shows off his magic skills with the floating ball trick.
“Look at all the amazing things you can do with the giant Fushigi, floats just like the original size”
“DON’T DROP THE BABY!! DON’T DROP THE BABY!!”
Often, the great and powerful
Havlicek
Integrated his own laws of physics
On the parquet
Sealing the sad fates of opposing
Teams
He was definitely not in Kansas anymore. Though OIHO state might wish they were now…
These shorts are a little tight in the groin
I call this round thing a ball but I’m not sure what to do with it!?!
Look ma no hands!

I hope Master Yoda is watching because this trick took forever to learn!
With my telepathic powers over this ball and my little shorts how can we lose?

This is why Professor Charles Xavier calls me “Hondo”
Omg this ball is “HOT”.. Makes me want to sing. This ball is on fire…
They call me “No Hondo”, because I can dribble without
touching the ball!
Levitation is the lost art of ball control.
“You should have seen the one that got away, It was this big!!!” -Hondo
“David Blaine ain’t got nothing on my magic skills” #gobuckeyes
