Lot # 1161: 1972-1973 NBA Champion New York Knicks Team-Signed Basketball with (11) Signatures Including All (7) Hall of Famers

Recall one of the deepest, most talented teams in NBA history, with this 1972-1973 New York Knicks team-signed basketball. Boasting seven future Hall of Famers, this talent-rich squad racked up a 57-win regular season, and then really proved its mettle in the playoffs by vanquishing the Baltimore Bullets, Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers in succession, to claim the NBA championship. A Spalding Official model, the offered basketball retains a pleasing shape despite not being fully inflated. A total of (11) members of the 1972-1973 team have signed, and their signatures remain readily recognizable. Featured signers are: Hall of Famers: Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Willis Reed, Dave DeBusschere, Bill Bradley, Jerry Lucas, Phil Jackson; stars: Henry Bibby, John Gianelli, Dean Meminger, Dick Barnett.
