Description
1988-89 Charles Barkley Game Worn & Signed Philadelphia 76ers Jersey - Photo Matched to Game vs. Bucks. Has there ever been a basketball player the size of Charles Barkley with his skill set? Standing just 6-4 ½ tall (yes, he was listed at 6-6), Sir Charles played both the small forward and power forward positions, which is unheard of in the modern game. Still he managed to post up and outrebound much taller opponents with brute strength and unnatural leaping ability. He even holds the distinction of being the shortest man to ever lead the NBA in rounding. Despite playing between 252 and 285 pounds, he would routinely go coast-to-coast, using his deadly combination of speed and ball handling ability to fly by the quickest players in the league. A legendary leaper, his first pro coach tells a story how Charles came to training camp overweight at 302 pounds yet was still able to stand directly under the basket and dunk flat-footed off either foot.The Chuckster put heavy use into the offered, shall was say roomy, "Sand Knit size 50" gamer. Resolution Photomatching has conclusively matched the jersey to a 1988-89 game featuring the Bucks and Sixers. They believe the image was taken either 11/9 or 4/8. The red, white and blue striping which accentuates the neck and shoulders has dulled from multiple washings. Even the white anchor stitching has turned a pinkish hue from the amount of times it saw the laundry machine. The two-color tackle twill identifiers show good overall use. Three tags occupy the tail: 76ers exclusivity, Sand Knit size and "2" LB." Barkley personalized a signature on the front "4" numeral. LOA from Heritage Auctions. LOA from Resolution Photomatching. Full LOA from PSA/DNA (autograph).
