Early-Mid 1980s Julius “Dr. J” Erving Philadelphia 76ers Game-Used Home Jersey
Julius “Dr. J” Erving’s Iconic Sixers Jersey: A Masterpiece of Basketball History
A Legend in the World of Basketball
Julius “Dr. J” Erving is not just a name but a legacy in the annals of basketball history. Renowned for his revolutionary above-the-rim playing style, Erving’s influence on the game is immeasurable. Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993, he was also honored as a member of the NBA’s 50th Anniversary All-Time Team and the ABA’s All-Time Team. His illustrious career boasts championships in both the ABA and NBA, along with MVP awards in both leagues, underscoring his unparalleled talent and contribution to the sport.
The Jersey: A Symbol of Excellence
This remarkable jersey, a testament to Erving’s legendary career, features a “Wilson” size “40” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions on the front left tail. The front proudly displays “SIXERS” while the player number “6” graces both the front and back, all crafted in blue on red tackle twill. The back of the jersey is adorned with “ERVING” in blue tackle twill, sewn directly onto the white mesh fabric. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows light use. Accompanied by an additional Letter of Authenticity (LOA) grading the shirt an A5, this piece is a rare find for any collector.
Why This Jersey Stands Out
- Historical Significance: Represents the era when Erving dominated the court, bringing flair and finesse to the game.
- Iconic Player: Worn by Julius Erving, a player who redefined the sport with his dynamic style and athleticism.
- Authenticity and Condition: Properly tagged and graded, ensuring its value and rarity in the realm of basketball memorabilia.
