Have a favorite set that's not made for basketball?

After looking at sell sheets for other sports, I was wondering if anyone had a favorite set from another sport that they wish was made in basketball? Or if that doesn't fit the case, which set do you wish the card companies would bring back?

I know that I'd love to see Donruss/Playoff with a NBA license and because of that, I would really like to see Playoff Contenders as a basketball set. Last year was 3 autos per box with most people getting two rookie autographs out of that. Plenty of autographed veterans cards, too.

My other choice would be to have a set the quality of Diamond Kings or Gallery with the painted cards. I know that Topps had Gallery basketball before, but I think the quality of those types of cards have gone up in the last couple years.

I agree with you on Contenders.The most expensive card I ever pulled was an Edgerrin James Auto's RC from Contenders(was $600).I really like the design of the set.Also would like to see Donruss Elite

Donruss Elite would be cool, especially with the Turn of the Century and Aspirations/Status parallels. Only problem I would have is that I can't stand getting unsigned free agents and those type of players, which Elite seems to have. Then again, aside from first round and a select few second rounders, I would not want to have that rookie.
