Towns and the Knicks look poised to contend for a championship this year, but anything can happen in the Playoffs.

Build a generational starting five that spans multiple eras with these Season 6 MyTEAM rewards. This Season’s featured cards have been hand-drawn with anime-inspired art direction to create a unique and stunning design that every MyTEAM collector should want to chase. Compete in single-player and multiplayer modes to level up and add these coveted cards to your vault.

Elevate your MyTEAM with the Level 1 Ja Morant Evo card and put on a high-flying display with Morant’s explosive athleticism. Complete challenges across single-player and multiplayer modes to upgrade this card to a 99 OVR. Unlock Morant’s offensive bag by using his elite speed to split defenders and his acrobatic skills to make contested shots in the lane.

A legitimate candidate for this year’s Most Improved Player award, Dillon Brooks has stepped up as a scorer in the wake of Devin Booker’s injuries this season. Brooks’ tenacious, pesky defense is his calling card, but his development as a playmaker and shot creator for the Phoenix Suns has been noteworthy. Give your squad an edge and a chip on its shoulder with the Level 10 Galaxy Opal Dillon Brooks card.

Richard Jefferson carved out a successful 17-year NBA career as a versatile, athletic wing. Known for his powerful dunks and ability to finish in transition, he was a reliable secondary scorer who could attack the basket and stretch the floor with a capable three-point shot. Complement your stars with the Level 20 Dark Matter Richard Jefferson card and add a veteran presence to your group.

Head Coach Mike D’Antoni helped revolutionize basketball into what it is today: fast-paced offense and a lot of three-point attempts. Over the years, D’Antoni’s high pick-and-roll scheme turned the Phoenix Suns, with Steve Nash and A’mare Stoudemire, and the New York Knicks, led by Carmelo Anthony, into some of the best offensive juggernauts we’ve seen in the past 20 years. Insert the Level 28 Dark Matter Mike D’Antoni card into your lineup and assemble a roster of shooters to execute his system to perfection.

Add one of the best rebounders in NBA history and a two-time, back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year winner to your lineup with the Level 30 Dark Matter Dennis Rodman card. Rodman’s size and physical brand of basketball help him cover any position on the court; blanket smaller guards with overpowering pressure or anchor the paint with lockdown defense in the post.

When you think of players who deserve to be on the WNBA Mount Rushmore, Lisa Leslie is a lock for one of the four spots. The Hall of Fame center dominated her era at both ends of the floor; she finished her 12 seasons in the WNBA with three MVP awards, two Defensive Player of the Year awards, two WNBA Finals rings, and two WNBA Finals MVP trophies. Give your squad a championship pedigree and plenty of rim protection with the Level 35 100 OVR Lisa Leslie card.

Following his three-peat with the Los Angeles Lakers, Shaquille O’Neal took his talents, via trade, to South Beach to team up with budding superstar Dwyane Wade. Together, the duo dominated the Eastern Conference and captured the first championship in Miami Heat history. Add the Level 40 100 OVR Shaquille O’Neal card to your lineup and impose your will in the paint.
