🏀 Framed Autographed/Signed Larry Bird 35x39 United States USA White 1992 Dream Team Basketball Jersey JSA COA — The JSA-Authenticated Personally Signed and Framed USA 1992 Dream Team White Basketball Jersey of the West Baden Springs, Indiana Native Whose Three NBA Championships, Three Consecutive MVP Awards, and Summer 1992 Olympic Gold Medal as a Member of the Most Celebrated Basketball Team Ever Assembled Position Larry Bird Among the Greatest Players and the Most Complete Forward Competitors in the History of the Game

🏀 The Framed Autographed/Signed Larry Bird 35x39 United States USA White 1992 Dream Team Basketball Jersey JSA COA is the directly obtained, James Spence Authentication-certified personally signed and professionally framed United States Olympic basketball jersey from the 1992 Barcelona Games — the white USA jersey of the original Dream Team, the collection of eleven Hall of Famers and one collegiate player whose August 1992 gold medal run through the Barcelona Olympic tournament introduced professional basketball to the world in a manner that no sporting event has ever replicated and that produced the most photographed, most discussed, most beloved team in the history of organized sport. Larry Bird's JSA-authenticated signature on the 1992 USA white jersey is the autograph of the one player on that Dream Team whose participation was understood as a farewell — Bird was dealing with the back condition that ended his playing career, he was playing his final competitive basketball, and his presence on the Dream Team was the sport's acknowledgment that no team assembled without Bird could be considered the best of its generation. The 35x39 framing presents this signed USA jersey as the display centerpiece that the Dream Team legacy and Bird's specific role within it deserve.

🏀 Larry Bird was born December 7, 1956, in West Baden Springs, Indiana — the small Orange County resort town in the hilly southern Indiana terrain that the French Lick Springs Hotel and the West Baden Springs Hotel established as a destination and that Larry Bird's life story attached to the larger narrative of American basketball more permanently than any marketing campaign could have achieved. Bird's childhood in West Baden Springs and French Lick, the poverty of his upbringing that the small-town Indiana environment produced, the brief enrollment at Indiana University before transferring to Indiana State University — these biographical coordinates gave Bird a backstory that sportswriters of the late 1970s and 1980s found irresistible as the setting for the talent that the Indiana State Sycamores' 1979 NCAA Tournament run announced to the basketball world. The Sycamores' undefeated regular season, the national title game against Michigan State and Magic Johnson — the matchup that launched the Bird-Magic rivalry that would define the NBA through the 1980s — delivered Bird to the Boston Celtics at exactly the moment the franchise needed the player who would lead its championship revival.

🏀 Larry Bird's Boston Celtics career produced three NBA championships (1981, 1984, 1986), three consecutive NBA MVP awards (1984, 1985, 1986) — the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to win three straight MVP awards — the 1984 and 1986 NBA Finals MVP awards, 12 All-Star selections, and the complete building of the resume that the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the NBA's 50th and 75th Anniversary Teams confirmed as one of the game's greatest. Then came Barcelona. The 1992 United States Olympic basketball team — the first composed of NBA players following the international basketball federation's rule change — brought Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen, Clyde Drexler, Chris Mullin, David Robinson, and Christian Laettner to Spain in August 1992, and the gold medal they won in the Palau Sant Jordi by an average margin of 43.8 points per game made the athletic and competitive spectacle of the Dream Team the single most dominant performance in Olympic basketball history. This framed USA white jersey carries Bird's direct signature from that team. Condition: NOS.
