1997-98 Arvydas Sabonis Game-Worn Warm-Up Shooting Jacket & Pants Trail Blazers

A sportswriter once said that Arvydas Sabonis the international player is idealized whilt Arvdas Sabonis the Blazer lumbered up and down the court in concrete Nikes and ranked behind Artis Gilmore on the moving like a mummy scale. During Sabonis’ first tour in Portland, they made the playoffs and even the Western Conference Finals in 1999 (they lost to the Spurs). Sabonis was elected into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.

Presented is one of Arvydas Sabonis’ game-worn warm-up shooting jackets and pants which show solid wear. The front of the jacket showcases “PORTLAND” logo across the chest and an insignia patch is on the left sleeve. The interior tagging features the NBA Authentics, Nike [size] 3XL – LENGTH +4 (flap) and TRAILBLAZERS. A tag is also affixed in the interior side seam with wash instructions, coding and year 1997-98.

The mega-size pants have the same interior tagging except the wash instructions / year tag are below the LENGTH +4 flap. Also to note his number “11” is written in black felt tip for his easy identification – quite safe from the embarassement of the 7’3″ center stepping into a smaller guards’ pair of pants.
