The Golden Era of Basketball: Larry Bird & Earvin "Magic" Johnson Dual-Signed Wilson Indoor/Outdoor NBA Basketball
Own an incredible piece of hardwood history featuring the two transcendent icons who revolutionized modern basketball with this Larry Bird & Earvin "Magic" Johnson Dual-Signed Wilson Indoor/Outdoor NBA Basketball. Hand-signed in crisp permanent marker across the composite leather panels by 3-time NBA MVP and Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird alongside 3-time NBA MVP and Los Angeles Lakers icon Earvin "Magic" Johnson, this official full-size basketball captures the defining rivalry of 1980s basketball.
From their legendary clash in the 1979 NCAA Championship game through three epic Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Finals showdowns, Bird and Magic transformed the NBA into a global phenomenon. Together, the dynamic duo captured 8 NBA Championships, 6 NBA Finals MVP awards, and 24 All-Star selections before sharing gold as co-captains of the legendary 1992 USA "Dream Team." Both icons were enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame (Bird in 1998, Magic in 2002) and named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team. Manufactured by Wilson, the official basketball maker of the NBA, this full-size indoor/outdoor composite leather ball offers high-contrast panels that make both signatures stand out. It serves as an extraordinary centerpiece for glass display cases, sports offices, fan caves, or elite basketball memorabilia collections. Every signature is protected by a dual layer of authentication from Larry Bird's Personal Authentication Program and Schwartz Sports Authentication.
