A 1997 standard release card should either include '96-97 stats, or not have any stats at all.

It always felt like a collection of '96-97 cards that - for whatever reason - then got labeled as a "1997 set" instead.

Well, they talked about the 1997 All-Star weekend and game on the back of Kobe and Jordans cards. They could have included partial season stats but choose not to. Garnetts card from 1996 talks about stats after the All-Star game too. They dont list any stats for any year so its a bit different.
