Tim Duncan San Antonio Spurs road jersey dating to the 1998-1999 season. The black dry-fit jersey is lettered “Spurs” across the front and features the number “21” on the front and reverse. “Duncan” is lettered on the reverse above the number. All letters are appliquéd in tricolor tackle twill (white/black/silver), with the exception of the reverse letters, which are in solid white. The numbers are appliquéd in dual-color tackle twill (white/silver). Situated on the left front tail are a "Nike 50" label and an adjacent flag tag reading "Length +4." A "1998-99" year tag appears along the interior left side seam. An NBA patch is located on the left breast. The jersey is completely original, with no alterations, and displays light use. This jersey was originally obtained from Pat Croce, the Philadelphia 76ers team president, and is accompanied by a signed LOA from him, on official team stationery, attesting to its game-used provenance. Tim Duncan is considered one of the greatest power forwards in NBA history. In addition to his numerous individual honors, including two MVP Awards and fifteen selections to the NBA’s All-Defensive First Team, Duncan also led the Spurs to five NBA championships between the years 1999 and 2014.
