Charles Barkley Signed 1991 Philadelphia 76ers Road Uniform (#32 in Tribute to Magic Johnson) There are four players in NBA history that have compiled 20,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 4,000 assists: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Karl Malone and Charles Barkley. But when the conversation turns to the exploits of Barkley, many people think first of the entertaining, sometimes outrageous commentary on basketball and life he provided. However, as a player he was the greatest anomaly in hoops history. Listed at 6-6, but probably actually closer to 6-4, he played power forward as well as anyone, often dominating players half a foot taller. He was selected to the All-NBA First Team and All-NBA Second Team five times, and All-NBA Third Team once. In 1993, he was voted Most Valuable Player and during the NBA's 50th anniversary, named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. He competed in the 1992 and 1996 Olympic games, and won two gold medals as a member of the United States' legendary Dream Team. In 2006, his cumulative achievements earned him induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Barkley’s 1991 Philadelphia 76ers road mesh uniform bears tagging on the left tail that includes the "Champion" label with the year "1991" size “50,” and "Body Length +2." On the front of the jersey is the name "Philadelphia Sixers" and on the back is the name "Barkley" in white tackle twill. Barkley wore the number "32" for this one season in tribute to Magic Johnson. This number appears on both the front and back of the jersey in white tackle twill on a blue tackle twill backing. Barkley’s autograph appears on the back number "3" and on the right shoulder is a black armband commemorating the death of one of the 76ers employees. Included with the uniform are trunks. In the waistband is the "Champion" label with the year “1991” and "Inseam +1 Rise +2." The number "32" is written on this label in black magic marker. This rare number 32 uniform worn in honor of Magic is an ideal Barkley game worn ensemble that symbolizes the deep friendship of two of the games greatest players. LOAs from MEARS (A5) and Grey Flannel.
