This 16" x 20" mixed media painting by artist Bob Canfield was presented to Julius Erving in a ceremony at the Meadowlands Arena on April 3, 1987 during which the New Jersey Nets permanently retired his number "32". Erving led the (then New York) Nets to ABA Championship titles in 1974 and 1976, the latter being the last in franchise history. Arguably the greatest Nets player of all-time, the team honored him by retiring his number during his final game in New Jersey during his farewell season in the NBA. The painting is signed by the artist as well as former Nets team President Jon Hanson and CEO Bob Mulcahy. The painting is matted and framed to dimensions of 23" x 27" overall.
Includes a signed LOA from Julius Erving.
