- This Mike Lewis basketball card is number 219 in a series of 264 manufactured by the Topps Company Inc. for the 1973-1974 NBA/ ABA season. The front of the card features a posed picture of the Carolina Cougars center dribbling a red, white and blue American Basketball Association basketball. The card’s reverse features a small cartoon image illustrating the factoid that “Mike suffered an Achilles Heel Injury Last Season,” as well as a short biographical sketch and career statistics.
