Nate “Tiny” Archibald’s Iconic Game-Worn Jersey
A Legendary Career
Nate “Tiny” Archibald, a name synonymous with basketball excellence, was a six-time NBA All-Star and a member of the NBA Top 50 all-time players. His illustrious career was further immortalized when his number “1” was retired by the Kings, and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1991. Archibald’s legacy is not just in his accolades but in the indelible mark he left on the game of basketball.

The front proudly displays “Kings” in red on blue heat-transferred vinyl script letters, while the player number “1” is emblazoned on both the front and back in red on blue tackle twill, with the reverse twill on the back.
