2000 Vince Carter Summer Olympics Game Worn Unif
<B>2000 Vince Carter Summer Olympics Game Worn Uniform.</B></I> Just two years removed from the Carolina Tarheel hardcourt at the time of the Sydney Games, this slam dunk afficionado was a key component in sealing the last Olympic Basketball Gold Medal performance for the United States. His 14.8 points and 3.6 rebounds per game were crucial in the team's eight victories, and his dunk over seven-foot two French center Frederic Weis in the Finals remains one of the most memorable moments in the tournament. Here we present a navy mesh jersey and matching shorts worn by the superstar guard during the last high-water mark for American basketball in international play, deriving from an impeccable source within the NBA league offices. The jersey features red and white tackle twill identifiers announcing "USA 9" upon the chest, with "Carter 9" taking up the rear. A "USA Basketball" patch is affixed at left shoulder. Dual "Champion" labeling in the tail features "2000 USA Olympic Team" exclusivity and size "50" tags, the latter marked with number "9" in red marker and trailing a "+2 Length" flap tag. An identical exclusivity label appears in the waistband, with a "Champion [size] 44" label to the right, which sprouts "+2 Inseam" and "+2 Rise" flaps at right. Light but certain wear is evident, proper for limited tournament play. Overall, an outstanding representation from the emergence of one of the NBA's most recognizable stars. <I>LOA from Lou Lampson.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Clothing, Costumes & Jerseys (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
