(...) Is it just me, or do the left hands on these minifigs seem different in shape? I wonder if they changed them to make it easier for them to hold the LEGO basketball or something. Weird to have minifigs with one hand bigger than the other, (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) Don't feel bad about not knowing Toni Kukoc, he was a pretty good role player with the Chicago Bulls during the Jordan era, but has done little else of note since then.

(...) Kukoc is caucasian, so it looks like they got around the "yellow" issue by making black and white players with out using yellow. That kind of keeps a balance in the LEGO world. jt (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.starwars)
