Terry Rozier’s Game-Worn Sneakers: A Testament to Playoff Glory

A Historic Moment in the Eastern Conference Finals

In the annals of NBA history, certain artifacts stand out not just for their physical presence but for the stories they tell. Such is the case with the sneakers worn by Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier during Game Five of the Eastern Conference Finals. These sneakers have been conclusively photo-matched to this pivotal game, where the Celtics secured a 96-83 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rozier’s performance was instrumental, contributing 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, showcasing his all-around prowess on the court.

The Kyrie Irving Connection

Before the start of the first-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks, Kyrie Irving extended a gesture of camaraderie and support to Rozier. Inviting him over, Irving allowed Rozier to select a few pairs of his sneakers, hoping to provide a boost for the playoffs. This act of generosity paid dividends, as Rozier’s contributions were vital in propelling the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Sneakers: A Unique Piece of Basketball Memorabilia

The sneakers in question are Nike-manufactured “Kyrie 4” size “12” white sneakers with green trim. They are adorned with personalizations that speak to Rozier’s personal journey and inspirations:

• The left sneaker features “J.B.Y.” for “Just Be You.”
• The right sneaker bears “H+H,” honoring his father’s motto of “hungry and humble.”
• Engraved on the inner bottom right ankle is “8.13.67 ELIZABETH,” his mother’s name and birthday.
• Engraved on the inner bottom left is “11.23.15 AZURIE,” his daughter’s name and birthday.

Adding to their allure, Rozier signed the outside ankle of both sneakers in orange marker, with one inscription reading “ECF Game 5.” In our opinion, the signatures rate a combined 8, further enhancing their value as a collectible.
