Dee Brown NBA basketball cards, by Mister Monkey. Boston Celtics.

While so many of his basketball cards show Boston Celtic Dee Brown winning the Slam Dunk Contest at All-Star Weekend during his NBA rookie season, there was a lot more that Dee Brown did than just pump up his shoes and win the dunk competition.

He arrived as a rookie on a team with Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish, and was a great fit with them. His speed at point guard, and very good percentages, were what the Celtics required. While picked towards the end of the first round of the NBA Draft, Dee Brown would be selected as First Team All-Rookie.

Later in his Boston Celtics career, he would move to shooting guard and provide extra scoring, and take on the role of team captain.

Dee Brown's career also shows how the basketball card industry expanded rapidly with popularity. The Fleer rookie card of Dee Brown was followed by cards from Hoops, Skybox and the very first edition of Upper Deck. The higher quality cards then arrived, as Brown was featured in Flair and Finest. After his career, Dee Brown signed and game-used Boston Celtics cards became available.



Cousin Brent's Boston Celtics Basketball Cards

CB BC BC

Mister Monkey was asked by T.G. Monkey if he would like to see some cards from Cousin Brent, and Mister Monkey said that was a nice thing to do.

Cousin Brent will show some of the player's exciting cards, often in chronological order, and then will present his Favorite Five. They are the most interesting and enjoyable cards of that player that Cousin Brent has in his collection.

There will also be a couple of bonus players, and their cards, shown that are not expected. "He played there?" or "Don't remember him" may be the usual reaction to that.
