Jerry West Signed Basketball

Sotheby's is proud to present this Spalding basketball signed by Jerry West.

Jerry West’s influence on basketball extends far beyond his playing days. His silhouette became the inspiration for the NBA’s official logo, making his image synonymous with the sport itself. Following his retirement, West built a Hall of Fame executive career, helping to construct multiple championship-winning Lakers teams and cementing his reputation as one of basketball’s greatest minds.

Though West would go on to win an NBA championship as a player in 1972, his resilience and brilliance during the 1969-70 season remain a defining chapter in his legacy. This basketball is a museum-worthy relic of the game’s golden era.

The signature has been authenticated by James Spence Authentication.
