NBA 2K19 Pink Diamond Cards for West, Cowens join other Throwback stars
Los Angeles Lakers and basketball history, in general, isn’t complete without mentioning Jerry West. The former Lakers great averaged 25.4 points per game as a point guard in the playoffs as well as 5.5 assists and about five boards a game. He also tallied some impressive stat highs in the points and assists categories over his postseason history.
That included a 52-point performance in the 1964-65 playoffs and an 18 assists game in the 1969-70 postseason. All of the above is just a part of why West now owns an NBA 2K19 MyTeam Pink Diamond card in the game with a 97 OVR.
Meanwhile, Boston Celtics big man Dave Cowens is a name often overlooked when discussing some of the all-time greats these days. However, Cowens was no slouch in the regular or postseason. “Big Red” averaged a double-double in the playoffs with 18.9 points and 14.4 rebounds per contest. He also had 3.7 assists, 1.2 steals, and nearly one block per game on average.
For an all-time best, one needs to look no further than the 76ers vs. Celtics game back on April 24, 1977. Cowens tallied a mighty stat line which included 37 points, 21 rebounds, and four assists in his team’s 124-119 victory. Cowens now has one of the top-rated Playoffs Moments cards as his Pink Diamond comes with a 98 OVR.
