…In terms of Sprite machine covers.
I have a soft spot for busts, especially in the NBA. I’m not talking about so-called busts like Kwame Brown or Darko either. Grant Hill’s not a bust either, I just love that cover. No, I’m talking about guys that didn’t get to that second contract, or to any contract for that matter. Guys that fascinated me in their pre-NBA careers, and then managed to amount to nothing in the association. I have put together a cromulent squadron of these busts, and I would argue that MJ could throw them on the court in Charlotte and nobody would know the difference.
More after the jump!
