Retired or not, the Best Rapper Alive just keeps making moves! Impending roadblocks to a Brooklyn Nets stadium ain't nothing to a boss - Hov went ahead and signed with Topps anyway (news first spotted here), giving the legendary cardmakers exclusive rights to his tradeable cardboard likeness. This is by far the coolest thing to happen to bball cards since they started stuffing the little game-worn jersey pieces inside 'em.
Jigga makes his trading card debut this August, with his Rookie, Relic (a dookie rope shot?) and Autographed cards included in the 05-06 Topps Basketball set. He's also appearing with Allen Iverson on the box. No word yet on Bleek holograms, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.
