ADDENDUM: INCLUDES TWO LETTERS OF AUTHENTICITY - ONE FROM TRAINER AND ONE FROM HIS BROTHER.
In June of 1976, the Boston Celtics earned their 13th NBA title by outlasting the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Finals, four games to two. For their efforts, the Celtics organization issued NBA Championship Omega watches exclusively to all players and team personnel to commemorate the historic win over the Suns, an NBA Championship Series highlighted by what is widely regarded as the greatest NBA game in history, the Celtics’ 128-126 triple-overtime victory over the Suns in Game Five. The gold-toned watch, which remains in pristine condition, features the Celtics’ Leprechaun on the face on the right side and “Boston Celtics World Champions” on the left. Green basketballs mark the hours on the face, except for noon, 6:00 and 3:00, where “1976, NBA” and the indicator for day of the week appear respectively. As noted, the watch appears to be in essentially as-issued condition, with no wear whatsoever visible on the wristband, and is in running order.
Includes Letter of Authenticity from the Celtics team trainer as well as his brother.
