2017-18 Joel Embiid Philadelphia 76ers Game-Used & Autographed Home Jersey

Joel Embiid’s Iconic 2017-18 Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Excellence

A Season of Triumph

In the 2017-18 NBA season, Joel Embiid emerged as a beacon of hope for the Philadelphia 76ers, leading them to their first playoff appearance since the 2011-12 season. As the third overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, Embiid’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, averaging a double-double of 22.9 points and 11 rebounds in just 30 minutes per game. His prowess on the court earned him a place on the All-NBA and All-NBA Defensive Second Teams, cementing his status as one of the league’s elite players.

The Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History

This remarkable jersey, worn by Embiid during that transformative season, is a testament to his skill and dedication. The front left tail features the Nike manufacturer’s tag, size “54”, with an attached flag tag reading “LENGTH +6”. Adjacent is an additional Nike tag with “PHIE01380”. Above this, the words “Brotherly Love” are embroidered in gold script, a nod to the city of Philadelphia.

• Distinctive Features: The jersey includes a black mic pocket, the “StubHub” advertisement logo, and a black memorial armband with the number “15” honoring Hal Greer.
• Iconic Design: The chest proudly displays “PHILA” in white on red tackle twill, with the player number “21” and name “EMBIID” in white tackle twill.
• Symbolic Elements: A gold tag on the back collar symbolizes the 76ers’ three championships, accompanied by an official “NBA” logo.

A Signature of Authenticity

Adding to the jersey’s allure, Joel Embiid has signed the back inside the player number “2” in black marker, with the signature rated a 9 in our opinion. Beneath the signature is a Fanatics hologram serial number “A333432”. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows appropriate use. It is accompanied by an ALOA from JSA and a Fanatics LOA, further attesting to its authenticity and significance.
