The ABA existed from 1967 through 1976 before merging with the NBA. It was considered the “outlaw” league with psychedelic red, white and blue basketballs and lively play that adopted the three-point shot. From February 17-20, 2005, the ABA held its “Ol’ School Reunion” in Denver. Twenty-five of its players signed 300 basketballs, of which these are two. Black marker signatures include Julius Erving, George “Iceman” Gervin, Moses Malone, Warren Jabali, Artis Gilmore, Marvin “Bad News” Barnes, Mack Calvin, Sam Lacey, Joe Hamilton, Ollie Taylor, Fatty Taylor, James Silas, Ronald Behagen, “Goo” Kennedy, Willie Davis, Leonard Gray, Mike Green, Jimbo Eakins, Cincy Powell, Ralph Simpson, Willie Rogers, Al Smith, Rick Darnell, Mike Davis and Collis Jones. Signatures grade an overall 7 to 8. Accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
