nash61 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 When I was 11 (2003), LEGO signed a deal with the NBA to market their players. 24 players were recreated as minifigures, wearing their team's jersey. Did anyone else collect them, even just for the jerseys?McGrady, Webber, HoustonKukoc, Bryant, KiddMalone, Iverson, FrancisNash, Pierce, StackhouseNowitzki, Payton, CarterHere's the full list: On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Discogod Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I had about a dozen of these, most of which I'd customized in retro uniforms...Did you guys ever get those little NBA figures with the big heads in America? They were pretty big over here in the mid-late 90's. They were about 2 1/2" tall, on a round base. Each team had 2-3 players to collect, and they came in those vending-machine type plastic eggs.

prospect13 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Are those springs in their legs? What are those for?Thats how they shot the ball. You tilt them backward at the waist and springs would make them snap back and throw the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Meningocele Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I had no idea that Tony Parker was black in 2003.You didn't? Pretty sure he still is today, too. I take it you're talking about the single shades for black and white skin colors...but still, that came off kind of dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goaztecs Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I got caught up in trying to collect the NBA players, but since I live in Southern California the Kobe and Shaq boxes couldn't be found. I decided to take pics of all the sports themed Lego Minifigs. I forgot to take a pic of the generic Lego basketball players from the streetball set.Group shotClose up of Jalen RoseSkateboarder Bob Burnquist and I can't remember the name of the snowboarderLego SoccerLego Hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I bought a pack of these one time and returned them about five minutes later because they were so much cheaper and more flimsy than than normal Lego men. I always wished they made Lego NFL characters. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

cameroncrazie07 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Yes, I used to collect a bunch of these when me and my friends were little. I had that 2 on 2 set as well, and we would play games against each other. It was really cool. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem was that the mini baseball caps rarely seemed to fit the heads and the bases always seemed to come a bit deformed so that I could never quite stand the figures up without them toppling over. Now that I think about it, I might still have my Paul O'Neill figure stored away somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
