๐Ÿ€ Framed Autographed Larry Johnson 35x39 Charlotte Black Basketball Jersey JSA COA โ€“ The JSA-Certified Hand-Signed 35x39 Professionally Framed Charlotte Hornets Black Basketball Jersey Autographed by Larry Johnson, the 1991 First Overall NBA Draft Pick and Charlotte Hornets Franchise Cornerstone Whose Power Forward Play and โ€œGrandmamaโ€ Commercial Identity Made Him One of the Most Recognizable Figures in 1990s Professional Basketball

๐Ÿ€ The Charlotte Hornets entered the NBA in 1988 as an expansion franchise in a city that had no previous NBA history. Within three years, they had the first overall pick in the 1991 NBA Draft. They used it on Larry Johnson from UNLV โ€“ a 6'7โ€ power forward with a 250-pound frame and the ability to play with the physicality of a small center while posting numbers that reflected his skill as a scoring forward. Johnson arrived in Charlotte as the building block the franchise needed to establish credibility in the league. He averaged over 19 points and nearly 10 rebounds per game in his second season, earned two NBA All-Star appearances, and became the face of the Hornets during the franchise's most popular era. ๐Ÿ†

๐Ÿ€ The โ€œGrandmamaโ€ advertising campaign created one of the most memorable athlete brand images of the early 1990s. Larry Johnson dressing as an elderly grandmother โ€“ complete with wig, housedress, and orthopedic shoes โ€“ to dominate playground basketball for LA Gear shoe commercials became a cultural touchstone that extended his recognition well beyond the basketball audience. The character was funny, irreverent, and physically committed in a way that only an athlete of Johnson's confidence and physicality could carry. It ran across multiple commercials and cemented Johnson as a presence in the popular culture that existed alongside his basketball accomplishments. ๐Ÿ€

๐Ÿ€ Johnson grew up in Tyler, Texas, and played at Odessa College before transferring to UNLV, where he won a national championship under Jerry Tarkanian in 1990 and was named the AP National Player of the Year in 1991. His professional career included the Charlotte Hornets years, a trade to the New York Knicks in 1996, and one of the most celebrated plays in playoff history โ€“ a four-point play against the Indiana Pacers in the 1999 Eastern Conference Finals that put the Knicks ahead in the closing seconds. ๐Ÿ†

๐Ÿ€ This framed display presents the autographed Charlotte Hornets black alternate jersey at 35x39 inches. The Charlotte Hornets black jersey is a collector piece from the franchise's original expansion era โ€“ the team that Larry Johnson built into a postseason contender and a nationally recognizable brand through his play and commercial presence. The JSA Certificate of Authenticity verifies Johnson's signature through James Spence Authentication. ๐Ÿ€
