Lot #3508: Basketball Hall Of Famers & Stars Multi-Signed Program With 23 Signatures Including Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, John Wooden, Bill Walton and James Worthy (JSA)

Description

Presented here is a program from the Collegiate Legends Classic Weekend game between UCLA and North Carolina honoring legendary UCLA men’s basketball coach John Wooden. Nicknamed “The Wizard of Westwood,” Wooden won 10 NCAA national championships in a 12-year period as head coach of the UCLA Bruins, including a record of seven in a row. No other team in NCAA history has won more than four. Wooden led the team to an astounding 88 consecutive victories and is the only member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame to be inducted as both a player and a coach. This presented program is from “A Salute to John Wooden” from Sunday, June 28th, 1987 at the Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. Wooden was honored by McDonald’s for his contributions as a coach, teacher, and friend, and the game featured former UCLA and North Carolina players in a friendly match to raise funds for the Nell and John Wooden Post-Graduate Scholarship at UCLA and North Carolina’s University Fund. Numerous legends and stars of the collegiate and NBA hardcourt took part in the game, most notably Michael Jordan, James Worthy and Reggie Miller. The white program features an image of John Wooden on the midsection of the front cover. “UCLA vs North Carolina” is labeled on black on the top-left corner. “A Salute to John Wooden” appears in black just above his image. The date, location, and time of the event is labeled in black above Wooden’s image. “COLLEGIATE LEGENDS CLASSIC WEEKEND” is labeled on the bottom of the front cover in blue. The program features articles about North Carolina and UCLA. 23 participants of the event signed the inside cover in various colors of ink, with key signatures from Hall of Famers John Wooden, Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, Bill Walton, and James Worthy. Other key signatures include those of Sam Perkins and Jack Haley. The signatures are bold and clear, and the program features toning on the edges, curled corners, and wear on the spine. A fantastic commemorative to one of basketball’s most legendary and inspirational figures, the item comes with an LOA from JSA (BB88549) for the signature.
