This sparkling jersey was worn by the great Chris Mullin during the tail end of his remarkable NBA career. After playing at St. John's University, during which time he won Big East Men's Basketball Player of the Year Award three times and was a member of the 1984 U.S. Men's Olympic Basketball team, Mullin was chosen as the seventh pick by the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the 1985 NBA Draft. He returned to the Olympics in 1992 as a member of the legendary "Dream Team," which was the first American Olympic basketball team to include professional players. The five-time All-Star played with the Warriors from the 1985–86 until the 1996–97 seasons, the lion's share of his Hall of Fame career, then played with the Indiana Pacers from 1997 until the 1999–2000 season. He retired after the 2000–01 season, playing for his original team, the Warriors.
This blazing midnight blue road shirt has "Warriors" and "17" in gold-on-white tackle twill on the front and his No. 17 on the back; "Mullin" appears on the back across the shoulders in white tackle twill. The iconic NBA patch appears on the upper left front. "Champion Size 44" and "Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Golden State Warriors Body Length +3" tags are on the front tail. The armpits and collar of the jersey have the distinctive gold, white and midnight blue knit trim. the shirt reveals game use and is largely problem free and without alteration of any description. As befits a man who has dual elections to the Hall of Fame - for his role with the Dream Team and as an individual - Mullin has signed this handsome jersey twice, both times in silver Sharpie: on the front below the "Warriors" lettering and on the back across the top of the "7" in his uniform number.
