Over the course of Hal Greer’s 15 NBA seasons, the slight, soft-spoken Hall of Fame guard from West Virginia was a model of consistency. He turned in quality performances almost every night, scoring 19.2 points per game during his career, playing in 1,122 games, and racking up 21,586 points. He remained with the same franchise throughout his career, starting with Syracuse in 1958 and then moving with the Nationals when they became the Philadelphia 76ers in 1963. He was an All-Star for 10 straight seasons and a seven-time member of the All-NBA Second Team. He was also the second-leading scorer behind Wilt Chamberlain on Philadelphia's vaunted championship team of 1966-67. If Chamberlain was that team's go-to guy, then Greer was its quarterback--the man who made the action happen. He wasn't flashy or flamboyant, he simply delivered, averaging a hefty 27.7 points per game in that postseason. Said Greer’s coach, Alex Hannum, “He’s so good on his jumper that it startles you when he misses.” But Greer saved his finest individual performance of his career for the following year, 1967-68. He shot a career-best .478 from the field and averaged 24.1 points per game, fifth best in the NBA. In the 1968 NBA All-Star Game, his eighth of 10 selections, he was 8-for-8 from the field and tossed in 5 of 7 free-throw attempts in only 17 minutes. That memorable effort would lead the East to a 144-124 victory at Madison Square Garden. His 21 points included a record 19 in one quarter and earned him the game's MVP Award. In 1996, Greer was named as one of the NBA’s 50 Greatest All-Time Players. On the left front tail is the "Wilson" manufacturer’s size 38 tag with wash instructions. Across the front is "PHILA." Below on front and on back is the player number "15." All numbering and lettering is done in red on blue tackle twill. The jersey shows good game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
