Life happens, even for an NBA Podcaster! In the middle of a series about "five players to watch or invest in during the offseason," our host's wife came down with colon cancer and his Dad was sent to the hospital. Gary, our podcast host, breaks free from a rough few weeks to bring us (finally) some thoughts on Basketball Buying season and two of the best young players in the NBA.

Tyrese Maxey and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are two very familiar names to listeners of Hoops, as Gary has been personally investing in their cards for years now, and loves watching them develop as players and playoff leaders.

As always, we would love to hear from you via Instagram DM @hoopsandcards or email gary@hoopsandcards.com!
