Authenticated and certified by James Spence Authentication (JSA) and presented in a frame measuring 35 by 39 inches, this signed 76ers blue jersey is the collectible of the player who invented a language for the game.

He played at the University of Massachusetts under coach Jack Leaman before leaving early to sign with the ABA's Virginia Squires in 1971 — a decision that placed him in the rival league just as the ABA was beginning to attract the talent that would eventually force its 1976 merger with the NBA. The Squires gave way to the New York Nets, where Erving became the central figure of the ABA's most entertaining team and the player whose popularity transcended the league's market.

The 1982-83 76ers swept the Lakers in four games in the NBA Finals after Moses Malone had guaranteed \"fo', fo', fo'\" (sweep of three rounds) before the postseason began, and Erving was on the court for every minute of the celebration that followed. The blue 76ers jersey — the primary home uniform color of the franchise — carries the championship that completed his career resume. JSA COA. Framed 35x39.

It is the way he played that defines his place in the sport's history: the creativity of movement in the air, the improvisational quality that made each trip to the basket feel like a departure from anything the defense had prepared for, and the combination of artistry and power that made him the player who showed subsequent generations what was possible.
