1974-1975 James "Fly" Williams ABA St. Louis Spirits Game-Used Road Jersey (Extremely Rare & Desirable)

Denver drafted Williams in the first round of the 1974 American Basketball Association (ABA) draft. The league was new, and following the draft, there were several offers to buy the player contract on Williams. Eventually, he was sold to the Spirits of St. Louis basketball team. On the right front tail of the jersey is the "Rawlings" manufacturer's size 42 wash instructions tag. Attached is a flag tag with “1 Inch Extra Length.” Across the front of the jersey is "SPIRITS ST. LOUIS" in white on black tackle twill. On the front and back is the player number "35" in white on black tackle twill. Across the back is the player name "FLY" in white on black tackle twill. The jersey shows light game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
