Man, was I pumped to see AD finally elected to the HOF today. It's about time. He was my favorite player growing up. I went to his camp as a kid in SLC, and named my oldest boy Dantley. I picked up his game used Jazz shoes a few months ago (thanks Dewey) and picked up his game used 1987-88 Pistons jersey just 3 weeks ago. AD game used stuff is VERY rare. I was betting this would the year and I was right. I could probably slap them both on ebay right now and double my money, but they are both definate keepers. Way to go AD!

Greg- Very nice buys, especially the jersey. Dantley was a great player and very deserving of the Hall of Fame. What surprised me is that he averaged 24 ppg over his career. That's a staggering stat, considering how long he played. It's also surprising that a 6 time NBA All Star and a former scoring champion was passed over for so many years.
