This unique piece, adorned in green, yellow, and white panels, captures the essence of a bygone era in NBA history.

Design and Features

The basketball features the iconic “SEATTLE SONICS” logo, elegantly painted in green and white on one of the yellow panels. A white panel proudly displays “SEATTLE SONICS” alongside the official “NBA” logo and the facsimile signature of Commissioner David Stern, all rendered in green. This meticulous design pays homage to the team’s storied past and its impact on the league.

• Signature: The ball is graced by the signature of Slick Watts, inscribed in blue marker with the heartfelt additions “Slick” and “Sonics #13.” In our expert opinion, this large signature rates an impressive 8.
• Condition: Despite a slow leak, the ball remains in Near Mint-Mint (NM-MNT) condition, ensuring its displayability remains unaffected.

Additional Memorabilia

Accompanying this remarkable basketball is a framed photo of Slick Watts, further enhancing its value. The photo bears Watts’ signature, complete with the inscriptions “Slick” and “Love you #13,” which we rate a 7. This framed piece serves as a visual tribute to Watts’ enduring influence on the game.

Adding to the allure of this collection is a game-used black headband, a tangible connection to Watts’ time on the court. This headband, along with the basketball and photo, is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA, an additional LOA from Watts himself, and a consignment opportunity for those looking to share their own pieces of history.
