(Full JSA LOA)
Charles Barkley’s 1989-90 Philadelphia 76ers Game-Worn Jersey
A Testament to Basketball Greatness
Charles Barkley, a name synonymous with basketball excellence, was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame twice: first in 2006 for his illustrious individual career and again in 2010 as a member of the legendary 1992 USA men’s basketball Olympic “Dream Team.” His legacy is further immortalized by his inclusion in the list of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. Barkley’s No. 34 jersey has been retired by both the Phoenix Suns and the Philadelphia 76ers, a testament to his indelible impact on the game.
In the 1989-90 NBA season, Barkley was named First-Team All-NBA, a recognition of his outstanding performance, where he averaged an impressive 25.2 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. This jersey, worn during that remarkable season, is a piece of basketball history.
