From starring in "The Game of Death", to being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, basketball super-star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has done it all, and then some. A 6X NBA champion, 6X MVP, and 19X All-Star, Jabbar battled martial arts legend Bruce Lee in the 1972 Game of Death film. Forty-four years later, he was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama. In between, he produced one of the most productive careers in NBA history, ranking second all-time in career points, and third in career rebounds. All this makes Jabbar one of the most important basketball autographs possible. The possibility to acquire his autograph stands before you, with this signed magazine cover. Dated 4/15/72, this vintage The Sporting News cover has been trimmed to dimensions of 9-7/8 x 11-3/4". Applied as "Abdul", Jabbar's autograph rates as a ("7") strength example. Auction LOA from James Spence/JSA.

Opening Bid $25.
