Phil Chenier starred for the Washington Bullets for nine seasons during his playing days in the NBA. An All-Star performer for the Bullets in 1974, 1975 and 1977, Chenier still holds the franchise record for most points in a non-overtime game (53), and he ranks among the all-time franchise leaders in field goals made (4th), points (6th), minutes played (6th) and games played (8th). He averaged at least 20 points per game for five consecutive seasons (1972-77) and was named to the All-NBA second team in 1974-75, when he finished eighth in MVP voting. After 10 professional seasons, Chenier retired in 1981 with 9,931 career points and a 17.2 ppg scoring average.
Presented here is Chenier’s jersey worn in the 1974 NBA All-Star contest played in Seattle in what was a losing effort to the West squad (134-123). This is only the second 1974 Eastern Conference All-Star jersey we’ve seen in the marketplace with the other being part of the John Havlicek Collection sold by SCP Auctions in 2013. Showing appropriately light game use, the shirt has been maintained in nearly perfect condition. The Size 42 Sand-Knit-tagged jersey is in ideal condition, with no alterations of any kind.
Includes a Letter of Authenticity from Phil Chenier.
