Rookies are among of the most exciting parts of every basketball season, after all. In fact, there’s another newcomer taking center stage: Panini 2023-24 Phoenix Basketball. That’s right — a brand-new opti-chrome program is coming to the world of hoops, featuring a wide range of parallels and inserts for collectors to chase.

Give a warm welcome to Panini Phoenix Basketball as you hunt through some of the most eye-catching inserts around, from Crusade, Court of the Kings, and Thrillers to the short-print parallels Color Burst and Dream Weaver, as well as the super-short-print Shooting Stars, Phoenician, and Archetype sets. The Base and Rookie parallels (numbered from 199 to 1) are also a huge draw of the program. You’ll be able to find two autographs, one memorabilia, nine Base parallels and six inserts/insert parallels per box on average.

Since Phoenix is a newcomer itself, it’s eager to highlight the newbies of its inaugural season, 2023-24. Search for live autographs from former rookie standouts such as Amen and Ausar Thompson, Brandin Podziemski, GG Jackson II, Cason Wallace and Dereck Lively II.

Naturally, Phoenix would never forget about those who came before. Also present in the various parallels and inserts are current big names like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren, Trae Young and Tyrese Maxey, as well as retired legends such as Kevin Garnett, Carmelo Anthony, Charles Barkley and Dwyane Wade.

Just like nothing held the 2023-24 rookies back from chasing their dreams, nothing should hold you back from chasing after the debut iteration of Phoenix Basketball. After all, there’s no better way to get a new basketball season underway than to add a whole new set of trading cards into your collection.
