Description
1992 Olympic Games Clyde Drexler Game Worn & Signed Dream Team Single Sneaker - Fischer Collection. Clyde Drexler got his undergraduate degree at the University of Houston as a member of the Phi Slamma Jamma fraternity and his graduate degree in the NBA as one of the game's high flyers. Drexler played above the rim, frequently challenging players much bigger. And as his career progressed, so did his play-making and leadership skills. He led the Blazers to two NBA Finals berths, the first in 1990 versus the defending champion Pistons and the second in 1992 versus the defending champion Bulls. On both occasions Portland fell short. Clyde ultimately got his ring in Houston, where it all began for him, reuniting with his former University of Houston teammate, Hakeem Olajuwon. Going into the 1992 Olympics, The Glide was coming off a 25.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.7 assists season.Single, white Avia with blue and red logo on the sides. White "Sample" tag inside with size "14" written in blue ballpoint. Signed with his Dream Team "#10" on the toe in blue sharpie. Shows game wear. Letter of provenance from David A. Fischer, MD. LOA from Heritage Auctions. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.
The David A. Fischer, MD Dream Team I Collection
Game worn sneakers, Championship ring, team signed basketballs provide inside look at greatest sports team ever assembled
By the time the USA Basketball Olympic committee came calling, David A. Fischer, MD had already enjoyed a long and distinguished career at the highest levels of American sports, having served as team physician to the Minnesota Vikings of the NFL and Timberwolves of the NBA for over a quarter century. But between the start of the qualifying "Tournament of the Americas" in mid-June 1992 through the final game of the Barcelona Olympics in mid-August, Fischer found himself linked to a team unequalled in the annals of athletic history.
Now, nearly twenty-four years after legends from Michael Jordan to Magic Johnson to Larry Bird took the top step of the podium to receive their Gold Medals, Dr. Fischer releases the treasures of his service to the bidding audience of our May Catalog Auction
"We have enjoyed the items and memories," said Fischer. "We will always have the memories and friendships. However, we now think it time to allow other basketball fans and collectors the opportunity to share in these as well."
Most notable among the contents of the Fischer Collection is a nearly full roster of game worn sneakers, many autographed with grateful messages from the legendary figures the doctor treated. Autograph collectors will be drawn to a pair of team signed basketballs, each so scarce that only team members and staff had access. A variety of Championship awards are likewise on offer, including a Gold Medal for the "Tournament of the Americas" and a ring representing the Gold Medal achievement at Barcelona.
