Authenticated and certified by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS), the most widely recognized authentication company in the sports memorabilia market, this signed Spurs black jersey is the collectible of the player who became San Antonio's first basketball star — the figure who built the Spurs fan base before David Robinson arrived and Tim Duncan extended it. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🌟 \u003cstrong\u003eDetroit, Michigan — The ABA Road to San Antonio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🌟 George Gervin was born on April 27, 1952, in Detroit, Michigan — the same industrial midwestern city that produced some of the most celebrated athletes in professional sports history, and the starting point for the journey that would eventually bring him to San Antonio. He played at Long Beach State before Virginia Squires of the ABA signed him, placing him in the same league and briefly the same franchise as Julius Erving before the Squires sold his rights to the San Antonio Spurs. When the ABA-NBA merger happened in 1976, Gervin was already an established star — and the Spurs kept him as the centerpiece of their new NBA franchise. The black jersey carries that history forward.

David Thompson had scored 73 points in his final game to take the scoring lead. Gervin, playing later that same afternoon, needed 33 points in the first quarter to pass Thompson — he scored 33 in the first quarter alone and finished with 63 points to claim the title by less than a point per game. The Iceman, unmoved. BAS authenticated.

Nine NBA All-Star Game selections. The Basketball Hall of Fame, inducted 1996. The Spurs black jersey, signed and Beckett authenticated, is the collectible of that career.
