Whether you are a UCLA, Michigan State or UCONN alum, or simply a collector of unique NBA memorabilia, here's your chance to own the first ever jerseys (or warm-up) worn in professional competition from the following five 2014 NBA First Round Draft picks: Minnesota Timberwolves Guard Zach Levine (#13 overall, UCLA), Atlanta Hawks Forward Adreian Payne (#15 overall, Michigan State), Denver Nuggets (via trade) Guard Gary Harris (#19 overall, Michigan State), Miami Heat (via trade) Guard Shabazz Napier (#26 overall, UCONN), and San Antonio Spurs Forward Kyle Anderson (#30 overall, UCLA).
The four 2014 NBA Summer League game worn Adidas jerseys (Zach Levine - Size L, Adreian Payne - Size 3XL, Gary Harris - Size XL, & Kyle Anderson - Size 2XL) and Adidas game worn warm-up shirt (Shabazz Napier - Size L) are autographed by the respective player with their jersey number inscribed. The four jerseys are reversible with their NBA team's colors on the outside and white mesh on the inside, and they each emit a strong aroma of sweat from game use. Levine and Payne have signed on their front numbers, while Anderson has signed his back number '1'. Harris has signed on the white mesh interior perhaps because the Nuggets wore whites for that particular game. Napier has signed his red Miami Heat warm-up shirt on the front. All autographs come in black pen and average 9/10.
The first professional tournament in which an NBA draft pick plays with his new team is typically the NBA Summer League. Each of these players took off their jerseys after the game (except Napier since his is a warm-up) and signed them on-site at the 2014 Samsung NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Each item comes with its corresponding Certificate of Authenticity signed by the league's Community Relations Director. All consignor proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a longtime partner of the NBA Cares program.
PSA/DNA ruled the autographs "inconclusive" during pre-certification process as there were no other comparable examples in the hobby at that time.
