2000-01/02 Shaquille O'Neal Lakers Game-Used Jersey

Sign In to see what this sold for

During his career, O'Neal established himself as a formidable low post presence, putting up lifetime averages of 25.2 points on .581 field goal accuracy, 11.5 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game (as of May 2008). At 7 ft 1 in, 325 lb, and U.S. shoe size 23 he is famous for his physical stature. His physical frame gives him a power advantage over most opponents, and for a man of that size, he is quick and explosive. His "drop step", (called the "Black Tornado" by O'Neal) in which he posts up a defender, turns around and, using his elbows for leverage, powers past him for a very high-percentage slam dunk, has proven an extremely effective offensive weapon, though it has been limited in recent years. In addition, O'Neal frequently uses a right-handed jump hook shot to score near the basket. The ability to dunk frequently contributes to his lifetime field goal accuracy of .580; he is the second most accurate shooter of all time. Top 50 All-Time player. On the front tail is the "Nike" manufacturers size "60" tag. Attached is an additional manufacturers tag with "LENGTH +4 Made in USA" on it. In the inside left seam are two additional tags which read "2000-2001" and "Made in USA." Across the front is "LAKERS" in purple on white tackle twill. Below that and on the back is the player number "34" in white on purple tackle twill. Across the back is the player name "O'NEAL" in purple on white tackle twill. On the left breast is the official "NBA" embroidered logo. On the right breast is the post 9/11 USA Unity flag patch. Made out of "Nike" Dri-Fit material. Tagged "2000-01" but also worn in "2001-02." Autographed on the front numbers in black marker and rates a 9. The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. The autograph is accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
