Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a six time NBA Champion, six time NBA MVP, nineteen time All-Star, is the NBA All-Time scoring leader and his number “33” was retired by the Bruins, Bucks and Lakers. He is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, NBA Top 50 Greatest Players of All-Time, and the College Basketball Hall of Fame. On the front middle tail is the Tiernan manufacturer’s tag. The jersey has been custom trimmed and fit to Abdul-Jabbar. Across the chest reads “LAKERS”. Adjacent below and on the back is the player number “33”. Across the back is the player name “ABDUL-JABBAR”. All numbering and lettering is done in the same purple on white tackle twill. This jersey features an early style of trim that was phased out during the 1980s, which makes this early Jabbar example a more rare and desirable variation. Abdul-Jabbar signed on the back of the jersey in black ink and is beautifully faded. An incredible example of one of the game’s legends early seasons with the Lakers. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows outstanding use. Accompanied by a Full LOA from JSA and a Photo-Match.com LOA grading the jersey a perfect 10.
