Bill Bradley USA Men's Basketball Team Olympic GOLD Medal Champion 1983 Topps History's Greatest Olympians Collectible Trading Card.
A renaissance man if ever there was one, Bill Bradley was the greatest college basketball player of the mid-60s. Eschewing the normal route of immediate pro stardom, he instead accepted a Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford. While at Oxford he played occasional basketball in European leagues and found that he missed the competition of top-flight basketball. Bradley joined the New York Knicks in the middle of the 1968 amidst much media hoopla. He was basically a disappointment that first season and it was attributed to the fact that, at 6-5 (1.95) and of only average speed, he fit in at neither guard nor forward. Eventually Bradley became a star in the NBA but not of the individual variety. Never an All-Star or an outstanding one-on-one player, he became the consummate team player and helped the New York Knicks to win two NBA championships. After an 11-year pro career, all with the Knicks, he retired in 1977. Bradley’s accomplishments did not end with professional sports. He later served three terms for the state of New Jersey as a U.S. Senator from 1978-1996. In 2000, he ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination as U.S. President. He has since served as a corporate consultant and investment banker.
This 99-card boxed set was manufactured under license from the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee. (Sporting a slightly different card design, the 1984 M and M's Olympic Heroes is a subset of this set.) Though widely known to have been produced by Topps, this company name appears nowhere on the cards. On a white card face, the fronts feature either color or black-and-white photos framed by a white inner border and a yellow outer border. The player's name appears in red print across the bottom of the front. On a red panel, the backs carry a headline and news brief. The cards are numbered on the upper left corner. This set includes such Athletes
