Basketball Hall of Fame

A few days ago, on August 13, Scottie Pippen and Karl Malone were among those in the Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2010.  Their enshrinement comes along with the induction of the Dream Team, which was arguably the most incredible group of players that could possibly be put together.  Malone and Pippen were each part of a unique and incredible duo, alongside John Stockton and Michael Jordan, respectively.  The combination of Stockton-Malone was the pick and roll tandem the NBA has ever seen.  Malone was one of the best power forwards to ever play the game and was always fun to watch.  A few cards of the Mailman:

Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan were the greatest duo in the history of the game, and Pippen was by far the best #2 man ever.  His rare combination of size and talent blended perfectly with MJ and the Bulls of the '90s.  A few of Pippen's cards:
