Kareem Abdul-Jabbar began a stretch in 1980 that saw him and the “Showtime” Lakers win five NBA titles. Kareem’s unstoppable “skyhook” shot and defensive presence saw the Lakers reach the finals nine times in the 1980s. The Hall of Famer donned these goggles during that magical period when he made the Lakers the best team in the NBA. The goggles show good game use with scuff marks and abrasions along with toning from age. The nose piece has been signed by Abdul-Jabbar in black marker and professionally mounded in a presentation frame with a color photograph of Lakers star. This piece comes with a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication for the signature.
