Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is widely considered to be one of the greatest NBA players of all time. During his 20 years in the NBA from 1969 to 1989, he scored 38,387 points (only recently surpassed by LeBron), in addition to winning a record six Most Valuable Player Awards. In 1975, the Lakers acquired Abdul-Jabbar from the Bucks. In 1979, the Lakers acquired Magic Johnson as the first overall draft pick, paving the way for a second Abdul-Jabbar dynasty as the Lakers went on to become the most dominant team of the 1980s, appearing in the finals eight times and winning five NBA championships. During that time, Jabbar received his record sixth MVP award in 1980, four more All-NBA First Team designations, two more All-Defense First Team designations, the 1985 Finals MVP, and in 1984 he broke Wilt Chamberlain's record for career points. On the center front tail of this yellow eyelet-mesh jersey is a faded and tinged yellow from washing, Tiernan manufacturer’s label. Across the front is “LAKERS”. Player number “33” appears on both the front and back. Player name “ABDUL-JABBAR” appears across the back. All numbers and letters are done in purple on white tackle twill. There is minor black staining on the front. The jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use. Accompanied by a MEARS LOA - A7.
