Last season's NBA All-Star Weekend was held February 12-14, 2016 in Toronto. The "Splash Brothers" duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson competed in the Three-Point Shootout on Friday night, and it was the less-heralded Thompson that came out on top in the finals against his Golden State Warriors teammate. In the All-Star Game on Sunday, Steph started for the West and scored 26 points with 6 assists and 4 steals. Klay came off the bench to add 9 points on three 3-pointers. The West prevailed in a very high-scoring 196-173 victory.
Presented here is an Official Spalding (Silver) All-Star Game-used basketball signed by both Warrior superstars with “3pt Champ” inscribed by Thompson. Both signatures and the inscription come in shiny 9-10/10 silver felt tip pen. The “Toronto 2016 All-Star” game logo is present on the top panel with “All-Star Official Game Ball @ NBA” stamped on the next panel below. The third panel down has an additional Spalding 2016 All-Star Game Ball logo with an adjacent "G4" hand-written in black pen. According to the accompanying MeiGray letter, the ball was used during the 4th quarter of the game. Very rare for one of these All-Star game balls to come up for auction. And with signatures from two of the most popular and mesmerizing players in the midst of their record-breaking 73-9 regular season, this one is most impressive.
Includes MeiGray LOA in association with the NBA (hologram sticker AM013804). Game use also certified by Fanatics (ZZ0028134). Autographs and inscription pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
