When LeBron James emotionally wailed, “Cleveland, this is for you!” after leading the Cavs to the 2016 NBA title, it brought back memories of Cleveland sports teams and seasons past.
One of the best Cavs teams of yesteryear was the 1976 team that made it to the Eastern Conference finals. Not only did the ’76 team with Austin Carr, Campy Russell, Bingo Smith, Jim Chones and others play well, they looked extra sharp in these classic, bright and colorful uniforms. Of course, the Cavs, even during LeBron’s later years with the franchise, occasionally wore this delightful style on “retro” nights.
Presented here is a special LeBron James rookie-era autographed limited edition (23/123) “1975-76 style” Mitchell & Ness Upper Deck issued jersey. Of the limited edition sequence, #23 is an especially good one to have as it’s LeBron’s number!
LeBron’s signature is especially large and bold in black marker on the back of this eye pleasing piece.
