An Iconic Piece of Basketball History

In the annals of basketball history, few names resonate as profoundly as “Pistol” Pete Maravich. Known for his dazzling play and unmatched skill, Maravich’s career culminated with a memorable stint with the Boston Celtics during the 1979-1980 NBA season.

This auction features a remarkable piece of basketball memorabilia—a reversible green and white mesh practice jersey worn by Maravich during his time with the Celtics. This jersey is a testament to his enduring impact on the game and offers a unique glimpse into the life of a basketball icon.

The Jersey: A Versatile Masterpiece

The reversible practice jersey is a versatile masterpiece, embodying the spirit of adaptability that defined Maravich’s playing style. Depending on the needs of a particular practice session, the jersey can be worn as a white jersey with green letters and numbers or as a green jersey with white letters and numbers. Both configurations proudly display the team name “Celtics” on the front and the player number “44” on both the front and back.
