By the way, did you know that Kidd and Hill are the second- and third-longest extant (been in the league the longest) NBA players, after Shaq?

Ah, Jam Session - the tall boy cards hardly anyone remembers from the mid nineties.

I kind of figured Kidd and Hill were next after Shaq in terms of career length. I also saw Juwan Howard play tonight - another from that 1994 draft class featuring Kidd and Hill. I'm going to look up and see if there are any others from 1994 still playing who might have escaped me.

I remember the tall boys...I need only one more Fuel Injector and four more Show Stoppers to have every Jam Session card.
