LAKERS PARADISE .....Wow must see !!!!!!!

[encinorick]

I know David's collection, in addition he bought and sold the bat that Babe Ruth hit his first home run in Yankee stadium.

But, wait my friends, a small part of my collection will be auctioned in this April's Greyflannelyauction.com. Very unique items. Kobe's throw-back "short-shorts" worn only one time (actually only a half a game) against the Celtics, Robert Horry's gu NBA's Finals uniform with Chamberlain band, Kobe's gu dual signed Nikes, Karl Malone gu Lakers uniform, James Worth gu sneakers (1983-85) from the Showtime era, Kobe's 1999 Xmas warm-ups which started the whole Xmas thing and white (alternative jersey) uniforms the Lakers wear at Sunday's home game, and so on so forth.

I mentioned it here before, no one seems interested. Too bad, I guess you guys don't like the Lakers......

Not true here encinorick! I am a big time and long time Lakers fan - going to tonight's game and used to have season tickets. I look forward to seeing the items in the Grey Flannel Auction. It looks like a nice collection.

And that video...man, just an incredible amount of history that David has!

Never said it was better, but, there are things that, well.....envy is one the seven (7) deadly sins, right?

But, like I said before, this a New York crowd, a baseball crowd. Yankees this and Yankees that, Boston this and that.

No one cares about a west coast NBA dynasty. I don't believe there's a handful of GUU people interested in unique Laker stuff. Very unique Laker stuff.

I'm sorry I brought it up. Never mind.

I think those Lakers jerseys are incredible. That 10,000 lakes Minneapolis piece is a work of art. Rick, don't forget that this forum considers basketball a 3rd class sport (very far behind football). I am very interested in unique basketball stuff, regardless of the team. There are a few hoop collectors on this forum. I urge everyone to start threads about basketball jerseys and when they are for sale at auction.

Couldn't agree more, both. Actually, it's the 4th favorite for this forum, behind Olympic curling.

Not just jerseys, but, complete gu uniforms, including underwear (oh yeah, underwear), socks, arm-bands, signed sneakers and even a 9/11 bracelet worn immediately after 9/11. Not the patch on the jersey, but the bracelet.

Xmas games started with the Lakers. White snow-flake jerseys for the Lakers and others came later and now are a NBA tradition. White Lakers (alternative) uniforms started about the same time. Now are an NBA tradition. Coincidence?

College basketball players grow-up and become become NBA basketball players, now that's tradition. But, alas, this crowd craves Olympic curling.

Oh Canada.....

Laker fan here Rick. Looking forward to seeing your items at GFA. No 80's jerseys?

With the exception of the Worthy sneakers, I'm keeping the 1980's stuff, including Magic's '83 jersey (and a bunch of later stuff too) for now.

Now back to curling.......
