This brass trophy stands 14.5” tall and weighs 7 pounds. It was presented to 2013 Hall of Fame Inductee Bernard King after he was named the 1980-81 Comeback Player of the Year. King averaged 21.9 points per game for the Warriors that season after playing just 19 games in the previous season for the Utah Jazz. The trophy features a female figure holding a child in the air surrounded by rings representing the lines of a basketball. Attached to the rings are brass letters that read “NBA PLAYERS”. Attached to the black wooden base is a plaque that reads “COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR - 1980-81 - Bernard King - GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS - National Basketball Players Association” along with the NBPA logo. The trophy is in VG condition but still presents well with moderate tarnish to the brass. The trophy is accompanied by a copy of a LOA from Bernard King.
NBA legend Bernard King will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2013! Lots 18 - 26 presented in this catalog originated from his personal collection and will come with a hand signed letter from Hall of Famer Bernard King as well as a Naismith Memorabilia Basketball Hall of Fame letter of authenticity.
