On Nov. 16, 2016, the Cleveland Cavaliers visited the Indianapolis Pacers at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indy and dropped a 103-93 decision. Despite the defeat, Cleveland’s six-foot-10-inch power forward Kevin Love led his team in minutes played that night (33:25) as well as points scored (27) and total rebounds (16). It was a remarkable outing for Love, who was doing his best to fill the void of LeBron James who sat out to rest that evening. This lot features Love’s signed and game-worn Cavaliers road jersey from that particular game. K-Love is off to a much better start in 2016-17, averaging 22 points and 11 rebounds per outing like his dominant days in Minnesota.
The Cavalier wine road jersey have “CLEVELAND” on the front and “LOVE” on the back in gold tackle twill letters. Love’s No. “0” appears front and back in gold with a wine border. The sleeves and collar have wine and gold striped trim. Embroidered NBA logo patch sewn on upper back. Shirt has appropriate adidas Size 3XL tagging with "Length +4" flap tag on the front left tail. The adjacent NBA Authentication tag has serial # CCA04614. The bottom of shirttail has an upside down gold-colored tag reading “All for one. One for all.” Love signed the back of the jersey in black marker on his gold uniform number and added “0” following his signature. Inside the left inseam is the washing instructions and "05/15" manufacturing date tag. Shirt exhibits excellent wear and can be photo-matched several times on
Getty. It was obtained through an impeccable NBA source (wishes to
remain
anonymous) who attests to Love signing the shirt in person right after the game as it was drenched in sweat. Strong stench of Love's unpleasant body odor is still present. Can't get more authentic than that!
Includes LOA from Resolution Photomatching including a conclusive
