This is the New York Knicks home jersey worn by Hall of Famer Bill Bradley during the 1975-76 season – his penultimate campaign in the NBA. The former Princeton star had a brilliant 10-year NBA career with the Knicks during which he posted such tremendous numbers that he was eventually elected to Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. But before his election to the Hall and just a year after his retirement, Bradley was elected to something entirely different - the United States Senate. Bradley would serve three terms as New Jersey's Senator, becoming a rare professional athlete to succeed in national politics.

This mesh sand knit home white Knicks jersey has "NEW YORK" and Bradley's number "24" in orange and blue tackle twill. Orange and blue trim rings the neck and arm openings and the Cosby and size 40 Medalist Sand Knit labels are sewn in the lower left front tail. The back features "BRADLEY" in blue tackle twill and his number "24" in blue and orange tackle twill. The jersey shows light game use and the Knicks orange and blue are still vibrant. To top off an already impressive piece of basketball history, the former Senator has signed the "2" on the front of the jersey in bold black marker. A very unique piece that bridges the gap between one brilliant career to another. This classic jersey comes with a LOA from MEARS (312863) who have given this jersey a high grade of A8, plus an LOA from JSA (X93359) for the signature.
