Official NBA indoor/outdoor Spalding basketball signed on a panel in blue felt tip by a 17-year-old LeBron James, who adds his number, "23," and an inscription to "Ervin." In very fine condition. Accompanied by two photos taken at the time of the signing: March 24, 2002, in the main concourse of the Parmatown Mall in Cleveland, Ohio. A little more than a year later, on June 26, 2003, LeBron James was selected with the No. 1 pick by his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers at the 2003 NBA draft held at Madison Square Garden. Four MVPs, four NBA titles, and four Finals MVP awards later, and King James, now playing in his 19th season, is widely regarded as one of the greatest players, if not athletes, of all time. Signed by LeBron before he even graduated high school, this is an enormously desirable hardwood keepsake backed by rock solid visual provenance.
