Calvin Murphy Circa 1980 Houston Rockets Home Jersey

As a basketball player Calvin Murphy had these skills: speed, quickness, great hands, ball handling skills, great leaping ability and the shooting eye of an eagle. He had it all -- except for height. At 5’ 9” he never allowed his diminutive size to become a handicap. “He was,” said former Rockets teammate Major Jones, “like a bantamweight who dared to make his living in the heavyweight division." Like the NBA's heavyweights, he earned the game's ultimate accolade when he was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993 after a stellar schoolboy, collegiate and 13-year NBA career. Murphy’s circa 1980 Houston Rockets home mesh jersey includes the "Rawlings" label with the size "40" on the left front tail above a white patch with "2 in.XL" in red chain stitch. Excellent game wear is apparent and Murphy has autographed the front of the jersey. LOAs from MEARS (A10) and Grey Flannel.
