Described as a “true national treasure” by fellow North Carolina native Michael Jordan, basketball great Meadowlark Lemon was the kingpin of the Bucketeers ensemble, eight of whom autographed this basketball in 1982. The “AMF Voit” model is signed in black fiber tip marker. While a couple of the scriptings have endured fading, most take well to the dimpled surface. Includes: Kevin Anderson (“4” strength, inscribed “#15”), Sugar Bear (“9” strength, inscribed “#5”), Pensacola Flash (“8-9” strength), Vicious Vince Humphries (“7” strength, inscribed “35”), Meadowlark Lemon (“7” strength), Monroe Sims, Bruce Smith (“3” strength) and Gerald Smith (“4” strength). Note: the ball does not completely inflate, yet presents as though fully inflated. Accompanying is a full photo LOA from JSA.
