Wheaties Top 10

I present to you something off-beat: The Top 10 List of basketball Wheaties cereal box.

Wheaties, for decades, has great athletes to endorse the cereal box – some of those athletes belong to basketball.

This is not about the ballers – this Top 10 list is about the cereal boxes! (well, a bit about the ballers won’t hurt…)

The Top 10 Basketball Wheaties Cereal Box

10. Kevin Garnett “NBA All-Star MVP”

KG is featured in this Wheaties cereal box for his achievement as 2003 NBA All-Star MVP, with 37 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 steals in 41 minutes.
9. Michael Jordan

MJ’s classic – jammin’… Notice the “erased” Bulls on his red uniform.
8. Bob Cousy “Invisible Color Picture”

Bob Cousy won 8 league’s assist title out of the first 11, he is considered one of the first great NBA Point Guard, and the founding father of modern point guard game of today.

The 1956 Wheaties cereal box itself is, um.. unique – just add water and color appear like magic! Yay!
7. Steve Nash

Nothing special with Steve’s photo, but what he is doing in his NBA career can portray Wheaties’ history – achieving quality years by years.
6. Shaquille O’Neal

With that “Eat your cereal, or I’ll…” look, Shaq does looks dominating and frightening – especially to young boys and gals :D
5. Julius Erving

Dr. J is a high-flying legend, and eating cereals could be his secret recipe to have such leaping ability ;)
4. Bill Russell

Bill Russel is a legend, and this Wheaties box is to commemorate his achievement in the NBA as one of the feared Centers in the history of the league (Sorry, Shaq, you’re not even close…) – great design, by the way…
3. Michael Jordan “Space Jam”

Space Jam is A 1996 family movie featuring Michael Jordan and the Looney Toons, with Bugs Bunny and the likes. A mediocre movie, but a great movie to watch if you are hoops fan.

This cereal box is to promote Space Jam, with the help of endorsement powerhouse, MJ.
2. Kevin Garnett “2008 NBA Champions”

KG’s sweet moment – getting his NBA ring with the Boston Celtics as 2008 NBA Champions.

His fierce look in dunking the ball makes me lose my appetite for cereal :D
1. Michael Jordan “Jordan’s Back!”

This Wheaties cereal box is to commemorate MJ’s return to the NBA. At that time, MJ means business – MJ is NBA and NBA is MJ. No wonder his return is hyped and much anticipated by NBA fans worldwide.

Wheaties is too smart to use this moment to ride the hype around Michael Jordan.
