Royals Card of the Day

Jim Paxson
Jim is an excellent rebounder and is also deadly with his unique two hand shot, that he pushes off the heels of his hands. Coming to the Royals after a season with the Lakers, Jim expects to repeat his high scoring ways that made him one of the most exciting college hoopsters in 1955.
