Vince Carter led Team USA Basketball to their 3rd consecutive Olympic Gold Medal in 2000 while wearing this dark blue USA Basketball jersey. The 2000 Olympics will long be remembered for Carter's incredible dunk over Frederick Weis in a game played on September 25th. After grabbing the ball off a steal, the 6'6" Carter drove to the basket, leaped, spread his legs as he jumped over the 7'2" Weis for a monster jam.
The jersey features “USA” across the chest, with the #9 on the front and back, all in red-on-white tackle twill, and “CARTER” stitched in white above the # on the back. The Champion manufacturer’s tag, size 50, is found on the left front tail, with a tailoring tag reading “+2 Length”, and a team exclusivity tag. The Champion logo and a USA Basketball patch adorn the upper left chest. In a unique add-on, Dream Team ‘96 member Charles Barkley, also a Gold Medal recipient for that year’s team, has signed Carter’s #9 in black sharpie, and included his #34 with the signature. The autograph comes with a LOA from JSA, while the jersey is accompanied by a Houston Rockets team-issued LOA from their Clutch City Foundation.
