Tim Duncan’s 2008-2009 Game-Issued Spurs Jersey: A Collector’s Dream
An Iconic Piece of Basketball History
Step into the world of elite basketball memorabilia with this remarkable jersey, once donned by the legendary Tim Duncan. This piece is not just a jersey; it is a testament to Duncan’s indelible impact on the game and his storied career with the San Antonio Spurs. Presented to us as game-issued, this jersey is a rare find for any serious collector.
Detailed Craftsmanship and Design
The front left tail of this jersey proudly displays the Adidas manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by four flag tags that read the size “56”, “CLIMALITE”, the year “2008-2009”, and “LENGTH +4”. These details underscore the authenticity and exclusivity of this piece. On the upper left chest, the official “NBA” logo patch is uniquely encased within a snowflake, signifying its use during the special Christmas Day game.
Across the chest, the word “SPURS” is emblazoned in white on black on grey tackle twill, with the iconic “U” represented by the Spurs logo in black on silver tackle twill. This intricate design is mirrored in the player number “21”, which is prominently displayed both adjacent below and on the back in the same triple tackle twill. The player name “DUNCAN” is elegantly sewn across the back in white tackle twill, completing this masterpiece of sports apparel.
Why This Jersey Stands Out
- Historical Significance: Represents Tim Duncan, a cornerstone of the Spurs’ dynasty and a five-time NBA Champion.
- Unique Design: Features the special Christmas Day NBA logo patch, adding a layer of rarity.
- Authenticity: Properly tagged and presented to us as game-issued, ensuring its place as a genuine collector’s item.
