Card of the Week:
Darnell Hillman 1975-76 Topps #290
5 reasons why this card is amazing:
- When did they quite using multi-color basketballs in the NBA? This one is somewhat Trotterish from the Globe of Harlem.
- Hi, I’d like some shorts with my legs please, thanks;
- With a facial expression like that, you can tell that he feels pretty self-conscious about his ultra revealing gym shorts, which I think is why he’s trying to cover up; poor guy.
- Darnell doesn’t use pillows.
- A classic design complete w/ green and orange stripes in the upper right corner and a shadow.

the multi-colored ball was indicative of the ABA. i like how his fro is soooo big that its shadow couldnt even be contained in the card. ha. great COTW!
Good call on the fro observation Bryan! Darnell’s hair is too funny. 🙂
