From you list, Cousy is the nice guy! He is a real gentleman and was/is way under appreciated!
Here is a story about him and his wife:

I am like you in the way that I prefer to collect players that are great on an off the court. Hence my settling on autos of David Robinson and Magic Johnson. They are both stars of the game and decent people as well!

Yeh loving Cousy and I saw that too, it's on my Google newsfeed hehe. But not much of him around

 

[Matt26]

How about someone like Alex English? He has lots of awesome Denver patches and autos in high end releases?

In that case, have you read "The game of his life"? It is about Kobe and the events of a certain night in Colorado!

Well Michael Olowokandi wouldn't have too many collectors......
However whilst he is RETIRED he was by no means GREAT.

You offering or showing off big boy?

I personally have toyed with these guys over time:

drob--great guy/morals and was a stat machine, household name and has some nice cards out there--like my printing plate auto 1/1
clyde the glide--smooth under rated player who had flair and game, cards are well priced too
magic--arguably one of the best ever, nice guy, bit of a character and very under priced in cards...
shaq--this guy was just poor awesome, winner, great personality and lots to collect

you could try these losers---karl Malone, Stockton, barkley and ewing, great players but couldn't get their teams to win a championship...

larry bird, nice player, over hyped because he was white, if he had of been African American he wouldn't have got as much recognition....

Hand's of Ewing!!! He's already got enough collector's without another one!!!! lol. You could always try some old, old school New York Greats like Willis Reed, Earl Monroe, Walt "Clyde" Frazier, Dave Debusschere, Bill "Senator" Bradley (wasn't Phil Jackson on that team also?). There's also guys like Moses Malone, Robert Parish and Kevin McHale who are HOFers, were great players, but don't have much hobby love.

I think clyde drexler would be a good one, doesnt get much love but he was a beast!!!!

Magic would be good seen as they are pumping out so much of his stuff, thats if its alright with drob50!!

 

[loafic]

one buy im shocked that doesnt have a lot of love out there is the the scoring machine Bernard King... has some nice patches to collect and his auto is pretty affordable, not a huge volume overall to collect, so a realistic guy to chase

I always thought Mitch Richmond would be sweet too PC. Seriously underrated player.

 

[lilreddevil]

Yeh I think I really forgot about Clyde! He's growing on me guys

 

[drob50]

Other retired players that I have thought of that were monsters on the court and seem to have been good guys too:

John Havlicek
Bob Pettit
Dave Bing (not much other than Leaf)
Kevin McHale
Mark Jackson

 

[Mico]

Kevin Johnson!! He is the Mayor of Sacramento!!!

I've got a tonne of commons and low-end inserts if anybody wants to start a PC of this legend...

As long as you don't want anything super high-end... there is at least one mad Drexler collector out there who throws lots of money at the rare stuff he needs.
