Shaquille O’Neal’s Legacy: A Unique Game-Worn Jersey
A Rare Piece of Basketball History
In the realm of basketball memorabilia, few items capture the imagination and reverence of fans and collectors alike as a game-worn jersey. This particular jersey, originally sourced from a relative of the legendary Shaquille O’Neal, stands as a testament to the rich history and enduring legacy of the NBA.
Distinctive Features and Provenance
The jersey is a remarkable artifact from the 2000-01 NBA season, a period that saw the Los Angeles Lakers dominate the league. On the left front tail, the “Nike” manufacturer’s tag with size “46” is prominently displayed, accompanied by a flag tag indicating “+4Length.” Inside the left seam, a large white flag tag with “2000-01” further authenticates its origin.
Across the front, the iconic “LAKERS” name is emblazoned in purple tackle twill, bordered by a purple embroidered outline. The player number “10” graces both the front and back in reverse white tackle twill, also bordered with purple embroidery. The player name “LUE” appears on the back, crafted in purple on white tackle twill. Adding to its historical significance, the left chest bears the official NBA logo, while the right chest is adorned with the “NBA Finals” logo patch.
Game-Used and Authenticated
This jersey was presented to us as game-used and, in our opinion, shows appropriate use. It is accompanied by a copy of a letter of provenance originally signed by Shaq’s relative, further cementing its authenticity and connection to one of basketball’s most celebrated figures.
