In 1970 a young man named Donald Mottola was probably the biggest Rick Barry fan in existence. Mottola would make 55 mile trips through metropolitan traffic just to see his idol play. After a while, Mottola became friends with the Nets then vice president Mike Manzer. At the end of the season, Manzer surprised Mottola with his favorite player's warmup jacket. Offered here is that very jacket. This gorgeous warmup is incredibly rare. On the inside right tail of this fleece is the "Rawlings" manufacturer's tag, with jacket size "42" on it. Attached is a tag with wash instructions. On the back of the fleece is "NEW YORK NETS" done in red on blue tackle twill. The jacket shows wear and appears to have no alterations of any kind. The warmup also comes with a notarized letter from Donald Mottola and an additional LOA.
