Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s entire basketball career was laden with accolades for both team and player. His greatness started early, at Power Memorial Academy in New York, where Abdul-Jabbar led his school to a 71-game winning streak and three straight New York City Catholic titles. Offered here is Abdul-Jabbar’s 1963 La Salle Alumni Basketball Festival championship trophy, originating from the personal collection of the legendary Bruins big man. This trophy is wooden, with a base measuring 6.25 x 3.25 inches. It is topped by two gold-colored statuettes, of a basketball player and of a friar. The friar stands on a rotating wooden pedestal bearing a “Champions La Salle Alumni Basketball Festival 1963” placard. This trophy measures just over 7 inches tall. It is accompanied by a LOA signed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
