Jerome Anderson (October 9, 1953 – August 1, 2009) was an American professional basketball player and coach. He was born in Mullens, West Virginia.
A 6'5" (1.96 m) guard from West Virginia University, Anderson was selected in the third round of the 1975 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics and in the seventh round of the 1975 ABA draft by the San Diego Sails.
Anderson played two seasons (1975–1977) in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers. He averaged 2.6 points per game in his career and won an NBA championship with Boston in 1976.
From Anderson’s Championship Season in Boston, this 1975-1976 game worn jersey shows excellent use and even retains some of its original stains on the front and back. On the left front tail of this home knit jersey is the "Medalist Sand-Knit" manufacturer's tag with the jersey size "42" on it. Above that is an additional manufacturer's exclusive tag that reads "Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Boston Celtics." Across the front is "CELTICS." Below that and on the back is the player number "42." Across the back is "ANDERSON." All lettering and numbering are done in green tackle twill.
Nice game worn jersey from their second dynasty years (the first being the 50’s and 60’s)!
