A member of six NBA championship teams as a player and two as an assistant coach, Abdul-Jabbar twice was voted NBA Finals MVP. In 1996, he was honored as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. At the time of his retirement in 1989, Abdul-Jabbar was the NBA's all-time leader in points scored, games played, field goals made, blocked shots and defensive rebounds. He remains the all-time leading scorer in the NBA, and is ranked 3rd all-time in both rebounds and blocks.

Abdul-Jabbar has signed in blue marker on the outside heel of each shoe. Both shoes remain with all original elements intact and are problem free. Autograph pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
Provenance: This lot originates from a gentleman who has enjoyed a long and successful career in Hollywood as an agent for many well-known athletes and entertainers. His professional and personal network enabled him to amass a significant collection of memorabilia, nearly all of which was given to him directly from the athletes and entertainers themselves. All of these items are being introduced to the marketplace here for the first time. While our consignor remains anonymous, SCP Auctions will issue an LOA for each game used item attesting to its player-direct provenance.
