The Golden State Warriors coasted through the 2016-17 regular season
with a 67-15 record and hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy as
champions of the basketball world for the second time in three seasons. It was a very gratifying
campaign for point guard Stephen Curry, who after earning unanimous MVP honors the previous year had suffered through an injury-laden postseason only to watch LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers steal the NBA title from his team's grasp. Steph's numbers were down a bit from his 2nd MVP campaign but he still put up a very All-Star worthy 25.3 ppg, 6.6 assists and 4.5 rebounds. In the 2017 NBA Finals, facing LeBron's Cavs yet again, Curry and the 'Dubs (this time with Kevin Durant) controlled the series from the get-go and knocked off Cleveland in five games. In Game 1 at their friendly Oracle Arena confines in
Oakland, the Warriors opened with a 113–91 victory as as Curry tallied a double-double with 28 points and 10 dimes to go along with six boards and three steals.
This special offering is an Official Spalding (Silver) NBA Finals
game-used basketball that is signed and inscribed by Steph Curry. The
full inscription reads “2017 NBA FINALS Game Used – Game #1 – 6/1/17 – 113-91 – 28 pts" in silver felt tip pen that pops to a perfect
10/10 for strength and eye appeal. The Spalding basketball has “The
Finals 2017” logo on the top panel, "Official Game Ball @ NBA" and Adam
Silver Commissioner stamp on the middle panel, and a “Western Conference Game Ball” logo on the bottom panel with "G1" penned in black marker.
Condition of the basketball is EX-MT/NM with evident game-used
characteristics. A rare piece of championship history to own from the
franchise's second title in three years, preceded by another that has everyone calling it a Dubs Dynasty.
Game-use certified by Fanatics (A130607). Autograph and inscription pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
