Who'd You Get?!: Alonzo Mourning, Fleer Ultra (1992)

We at No Regard used to collect basketball cards. Convincing a parent to shuttle us and our friends to the local collector's shop was a consistently important victory. When we found out KMart was selling entire boxes for $20, we almost wore out our bike tires pedaling back and forth.

Now we've unearthed the cache, and the results are stunning. We've been reminded that players named Dino Radja and Wesley Person briefly and forcefully carved out steady roles for themselves in the league. We've been straight tickled by the goofy casual pics. And we've been touched and inspired by the relentless optimism of the copywriters. We hope you enjoy this odd time capsule, a Utopian angle from which to view the league, where everyone is the next somebody and context is pointless.

This is a Special Edition of Who'd You Get?! I found this card tonight on the sidewalk in Manhattan on 7th Ave. between 50th and 49th Streets. Does it belong to you? If so, please contact No Regard. We will return it and then try to hang out with you because you're walking around New York with an Alonzo Fleer Ultra rookie card in your pocket. (Do you have holes in your pockets?)

Udonis Arrest: Heated Reactions

Haslem was arrested Sunday
for Marijuana possession.
Udonis Haslem was pulled over for speeding on Sunday afternoon and was later arrested for possession of marijuana. A search of his car yielded less than 20 grams. We can only speculate as to why the Miami Heat Forward would feel the need to drive under the influence. Perhaps he saw what Russell Westbrook was up to this weekend and decided he too had a serious snack attack. Haslem will be drug-tested and faces a maximum 5 year prison sentence.  


The Heat made quite a fuss about re-signing Haslem this summer to play alongside their newly minted triumvirate of LeBron, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. Time will tell how this may or may not affect the Slumber Party Boys, but with not even a day gone by, everyone affiliated with the Miami Heat organization is speaking out on the issue. We've sorted through the numerous press conferences to bring you some of the thoughts of Udonis's colleagues and coworkers.

Erik Spoelstra
Head Coach


"I've never tried pot before. We watched a video on it in health class that said if we smoke dope we'll be homeless."

Pat Riley
Team President






"I knew I should never have hired my neighbor's kid to coach this team. This was totally his fault. I'm getting thirsty."
