A magical dribbler and dazzling shooter, HOFer Neal captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of basketball fans around the world in his 22 years with the Globetrotters. From 1963 to 1985, Neal traveled millions of miles, performed in 97 countries and completed more than 6,000 basketball games. He is hailed as being one of the purest shooters ever to play basketball, and had a knack for hitting shots from beyond mid-court. On the front of the jersey is "HARLEM" in red on white tackle twill and "GLOBETROTTERS" in gold tackle twill. Between these is the player number "22" in white on red tackle twill. The white letters have turned red from washing. On the back of the jersey is the player number "22" in white on red tackle twill. Above that is "NEAL" in red on white tackle twill. Part of the name has begun to fall off from heavy use. There are four stars on front and four stars on back, all done in red on gold tackle twill. The jersey shows heavy game use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
