James Worthy 1989 Los Angeles Lakers Signed Home Jersey
When James Worthy retired before the 1994-95 season, it was fitting that Magic Johnson was there to describe Worthy's career. Johnson, after all, had made the passes on the fast break that set up hundreds of Worthy's trademark one-handed swooping dunks. "James Worthy was one of the top five players in playoff history," Johnson stated at the news conference in which Worthy announced his retirement. The offered Lakers home jersey was worn by "Big Game James" in the 1989 season as evidenced by the exclusive Sand-Knit tagging on the front tail. Excellent game use is apparent and Worthy has added his large signature to the back. Worthy was named as one the NBA's 50 Greatest Players in 1996. LOA from MEARS (A7.5).
