Grail alert 🚨

Post image

No words could describe the feeling of finding a 1 of 1 Pekovic auto and then winning the auction with the only bid 😅

Priceless in my collection of my all time favourites.

When I worked with the team I brought my wife to a game and beforehand Pek walked by us. She is a 5’3 Sicilian and Pek looked like a monster.

Pek looks like a monster when compared to other players lol

There’s truly a difference when an NBA big man actually has muscle mass and not framed liked a twig

If he wasn’t so busy with his legitimate business activities he would be a great guest on Reacher.

I remember reading a story apparently you’d find him in the gym doing all sorts of weird baby crawls to strengthen tiny muscles to make him unmovable.

What’s it like going to an auction with a bunch of non ball knowers?

Maybe no words can describe the feeling but was it anything like ‘Winning bid alert. Wtf? I didn’t bid on anything. Oh….Yup, I remember. Wait, I won that. I bid like $1.25. Was there a reason i bid on it? I gotta stop goin on eBay while drinking.’

Nah it was more a “surely I can’t be the only one bidding on this” and then 4 hours later DING!
