hey i have this official nba basketball autographed by the los angeles lakers championship team from 1988...the whole team signed the ball, magic, kareem, worthy, byron scott, cooper, rambis, ac green ect.
its a crazy story how i got the ball, and believe it or not this is the truth...it was given to me by my neighbor, she is an older lady (now), she and 2 other guys were involved in a halftime freethrow shooting contest in a regular season game against the bulls way back in the 1987-1988 season...they each shot 10 freethrows at the half and the winner would get a signed bball from the lakeshow...she ended up making 5 outta 10 (not very good but still better than shaq) the guys, she says, ended up hitting only 3 and 2 outta 10. she obviously won the basketball and that was how she got the autographed team ball..fast foward almost 20 years to about 2006-ish...my father is a firefighter and when he is not at work he would periodically check on her, cuz she is an older lady..he would do this from time to time and one of those times he was helping her, he noticed a signed basketball in the closet (he said just sitting there, in its case, under a stack of papers) he asked her about it, heard the story i just told you about, and she just gave it to my father as a gift as she said she had no use for it..me and my dad are huge laker fans and it was just crazy to us that we just got a signed lakers basketball for free..my father has since given it to me back in like 2008.
the reason im selling it is simple, im in need of money. im in the process of buying a house and im all set but this closing cost is killing me. let me know if your interested, and i gotta be honest this ball means a lot to me (part of which is why i want to sell it to a laker fan - ive been part of this site for a long time even tho i dont post much, this is the only site i will post this offer on, no clublakers and no craigslist ect.) so the race is on, whether i sell my car or my laker signed basketball first, the other is off the market. ha seriously tho its the truth..
i can easily send a pic via email and will even deliver it for free if you live in the southern cali area
let me know your offer - thanks! |
