LeBron James wore this Cleveland Cavaliers Hardwood Classic jersey during a Cavs road game against the Portland Trail Blazers on January 11th, 2017 at the Moda Center in Portland. James turned in a double-double in this game, dropping 20 points while corralling 11 rebounds in the Cavaliers 102-86 loss to their Western Conference foes. The former St. Vincent-St. Mary star added four assists, a block and a steal for the eventual Eastern Conference title winners.

James turned in a typically excellent season in 2016-17, leading the NBA in minutes per game while scoring at a team-high 26.4 points per game clip. The 6’8” superstar showcased his preternaturally passing skills with 8.7 assists per game while adding 8.6 rebounds per game. James led the Cavaliers to the 2017 NBA Finals in a rematch of the previous two season-ending series with the Golden State Warriors. Although the Warriors super-team proved too much for Cleveland, James averaged a triple-double in the Finals, contributing a line of 33.6/12/10 that many pundits believed worthy of the Finals MVP award despite his team’s loss.

This wine-colored jersey has “CAVS” sewn across the chest in yellow and white, with James’ number “23” sewn below in white mesh over yellow tackle twill. “JAMES” is sewn across the back shoulders in yellow tackle twill, with a second “23” sewn on the back in white mesh over yellow tackle twill. An NBA logo patch is sewn on the back outside collar below a Larry O’Brien Trophy tag. A tag sewn on the bottom left tail reads “All for one. One for all.” An Adidas size “XL” tag with an attached “Length +2”” flag and an NBA Authentics tag are sewn on the front left tail. “1/11” is handwritten in black marker on the Adidas tag. A “Made in Thailand / XL2” flag is sewn on the back inside collar. This jersey has been photo matched to the January 11th contest by Resolution Photomatching, which has provided a LOA (425618).
