The complete Funko Pop! vinyl NBA Basketball checklist.
The Funko Pop! NBA Basketball series was launched in 2013, and the first Pop! vinyl figure released in the series belongs to basketball legend Lebron James.
Originally, the series was launched as Pop! Sports series but was renamed Pop! NBA Basketball series in 2018, due to the many other sports series released by Funko. NBA figures #01 through #38 are branded as Pop! Sports figures.
The Pop! NBA Basketball series has grown rapidly from 2018 and a large number of new Pop! vinyl figures are released every year. Each NBA season, new Funko Pop! figures of active NBA players are added to the series.
But the series likes to make an exception for legendary and retired basketball players. Thus, the Pop! NBA Basketball series is not complete without Michael Jordan aka MJ, Air Jordan, His Airness.
Pop! vinyl figures of the legend appear several times in the Pop! series, both during his time with the Chicago Bulls and during his college years with the North Carolina Tar Heels. A number of exclusive All Star variants of Michael Jordan have also been released.
In addition to Pop! figures from Michael Jordan, a separate Hardwood Classics (HWC) line has been launched within the Pop! NBA Basketball series. Among the first legends released in the HWC line were Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Shaquille O’Neal and Shawn Kemp.
