Irving's used to sell a lot of the hats, jackets & shoes some of the players and fans are wearing.
City Sports sells remakes & reissues of a lot of that stuff now.
City Sports blows.
Irving's > City Sports

I'm curious about a few things if anyone wants to do the work . . .

a. % of post players v. wing players v. small guards . . . I'm guessing wing players dominate though Larry Nance was the first NBA (as opposed to ABA) champion.

b. % of black v. white (or asian) and % of players who didn't play HS/College ball in USA particating

c. % of players under 22 v. players over 30

They are only running the 80s and 90s and not the last 13 years of Slam Dunk contests as well? (still don't remember any asians in the contest but they were in the league).

They are showing the last 13 years of Slam Dunk contests later on this afternoon.
I was a die hard collector of basketball cards during the 80s and 90s.
I do not remember any Asian players.
In the mid 90s there was an Asian guy on the Clippers during summer league play but he was cut before the beginning of the season.
Other than that there might have been an Asian towel boy, water boy or ball boy on a few teams but never an actual Asian players on any team rosters at the time.
