Magic was in the air on a nightly basis at Philadelphia's Spectrum arena during the 1970s. The "Broad Street Bullies" were the greatest show on ice, and when the hardwood was laid out, "Dr. J" would put on a display of aerial acrobatics that was flat out mesmerizing. In 1978, the Sixers traded for Bobby Jones, and drafted Maurice Cheeks, giving head coach Billy Cunningham a pair of future Hall of Famers to complement the good Dr. 

From the 1978-79 Philadelphia 76ers season, come these multi-signed items:

Maurice Cheeks rookie season game-used pair of sneakers, with (3) autographs on each shoe. These Nike hi-tops are both labeled "Cheeks" on the back, and both shoes are stamped inside the tongues with "78-10-12 NR".

Full photo LOA from JSA for both shoes.
