Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Circa 1980 Los Angeles Lakers Home Jersey

When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar left the game in 1989 at age 42, no NBA player had ever scored more points, blocked more shots, won more Most Valuable Player Awards, played in more All-Star Games or logged more seasons. His basketball resume is unrivaled, combining individual honors and a record of winning that make him the most successful player in league history. Players 10 years his junior couldn't keep up with Abdul-Jabbar, whose strict physical-fitness regimen was years ahead of its time in the NBA. But if others have since emulated his fitness regimen, no player has ever duplicated his trademark "sky-hook." The unstoppable shot became one of the most effective weapons in all of sports. An all-around player, Abdul-Jabbar brought grace, agility, and versatility to the center position, which had previously been characterized solely by power and size. This is Abdul-Jabbar’s circa 1980 Los Angeles Lakers home mesh jersey. On the front tail is the "Tiernan” manufacturer’s label. All lettering and numbers including the team name “Lakers," his name "Abdul-Jabbar" and his player number "33" are made of purple tackle twill on a white tackle twill backing. The jersey shows game use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. LOAs from MEARS (A10) and Grey Flannel.
