Longtime ABA and NBA shooting guard Ron Boone wore this Utah Stars jersey during the 1971-72 ABA season. The ABA’s third-leading scorer, Boone played all 84 games for the Stars that season, averaging 13 points and 4.7 rebounds per game for the LaDell Anderson coached team. The Stars, ABA champions the previous season, finished with 60 wins, advancing to the ABA Western Division Finals before a seven-game loss to the Indiana Pacers ended their hopes of a repeat. Boone, who would be named to the ABA All-Time team in 1996-97, played in the ABA until 1976, and then played five more seasons in the NBA with the Lakers, Kings, and Jazz.

Boone’s number “24” is sewn on the front and back in blue and red tackle twill. “BOONE” is sewn across the back shoulders in blue and red tackle twill.
