1986-87 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar LA Lakers Game-Used & Autographed Jersey

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Iconic 1986-87 Los Angeles Lakers Jersey

A Legendary Career

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a name synonymous with basketball excellence, boasts an illustrious career that is etched in the annals of NBA history. With six MVP awards and six NBA Championships, Abdul-Jabbar’s legacy is unparalleled. As a two-time Finals MVP and a record 19-time All-Star, he has left an indelible mark on the sport. His contributions were further recognized when he was voted to the NBA’s 50th Anniversary All-Time Team, and his iconic No. 33 jersey was retired by both the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers.

At the time of his retirement in 1989, Abdul-Jabbar was the NBA’s all-time leader in points scored, games played, minutes played, field goals made, field goal attempts, blocked shots, and defensive rebounds. Today, he remains the all-time leading scorer in the NBA and ranks third all-time in both rebounds and blocks.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This remarkable jersey, from the 1986-87 season, is a testament to Abdul-Jabbar’s enduring legacy. The front left tail features the Sand-Knit manufacturer’s tag, size “44.” Adjacent above is an additional tag reading “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the LOS ANGELES LAKERS.” Two box tags reading the year “86,” “4” LB,” and a blank strip tag are also present. On the right inseam, a flag tag with jersey materials and washing instructions can be found.

• Player Name: “ABDUL JABBAR” across the back.
