Introduction to the 2006 FIBA World Championship
The 2006 FIBA World Championship marked the 15th edition of this prestigious international basketball tournament for men’s national teams. Hosted by Japan, the championship took place from August 19 to September 3, 2006. This grand event was co-organized by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the Japan Basketball Association (JABBA), and the 2006 Organising Committee, bringing together the world’s elite basketball talents.
A Closer Look at the USA Basketball Jersey
Among the remarkable items from this championship is a game-worn jersey that embodies the spirit and excellence of USA Basketball. This jersey, presented to us as game-used, is a testament to the dedication and skill of the players who donned it. The front left tail features the Nike manufacturer label with “USA BASKETBALL,” indicating a size of 53, and a flag-tag attached with “LENGTH +4.” On the left breast, the USA BASKETBALL emblem is embroidered alongside the iconic Nike Swoosh.
The team name “USA” is prominently displayed across the front, with the player number “17” below it, both crafted in navy on red tackle twill. The back of the jersey proudly bears the player name “HOWARD” in navy tackle twill. This jersey is properly tagged and, in our opinion, shows appropriate wear, adding to its authenticity and allure.
