Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar
$249
The Los Angeles Lakers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the kind of player
that graces a sport once in a lifetime. From the time he stepped
on the court at Power Memorial High School in his native New York
City, to the time he retired as the NBA's all-time leader in nine
statistical categories, the 7-foot-2 Abdul Jabbar established himself
as basketball's most talented and recognizable figure. Not only
was he part of one of the greatest dynasties in college basketball
- John Wooden's UCLA teams that went 88-2 with three consecutive
NCAA titles over three years - but he went on to win six NBA Titles
AND six MVP Awards. A basketball
legend, this great action photograph shows Kareem taking his most
famous shot - the hook. No one before or since has a hook shot as
effective as Kareem. There simply was no way to defense it. Hand-signed
by Abdul-Jabbar in gold sharpie and Quality
Framed in thick black wood, UV-protective glass (very
important for signature protection!) and Lakers purple suede double
matting, this a collectible that any basketball fan will love! [why

Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar & Magic Johnson new!
$549
Wow...this
is a great collectible! A classic photograph of two classic basketball
players, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson, hand-signed by BOTH.
Kareem was the kind of player that graces a sport once in a lifetime.
From the time he stepped on the court at Power Memorial High School
in his native New York City, to the time he retired as the NBA's
all-time leader in nine statistical categories, the 7-foot-2 Abdul-Jabbar
established himself as basketball's most talented and recognizable
figure. Not only was he part of one of the greatest dynasties in
college basketball - John Wooden's UCLA teams that went 88-2 with
three consecutive NCAA titles over three years - but he went on
to win six NBA Titles AND six
MVP Awards. Of course Magic was just that on a basketball court.
Johnson not only led Michigan State to the 1979 NCAA championship
in a classic battle against Indiana State's Larry Bird, but also
combined with Kareem to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to five NBA
Championships ('80, '82, '85, '87, '88), being named NBA MVP three
of those years. Two basketball legends together on one timeless
piece of Sports Art. Signed by both and Quality
Framed in thick black wood, UV-protective glass and Lakers
purple suede double matting, this a collectible that will be passed

Denver
Nuggets Forward Carmelo Anthony nearly did the impossible in his
rookie season - steal the limelight from LeBron
James. All this NYC native and former Syracuse Orangemen
did was average 21 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, finish 2nd
in the Rookie of the Year voting (behind you know who), earn a unanimous
NBA All-Rookie First Team Selection, and become the first NBA rookie
to lead a playoff team in scoring since David Robinson in 1989-90.
Melo also became the third-youngest player in NBA history to reach
the 1,000 point plateau. Carmelo played just a single season at
Syracuse, but packed a career's worth of highlights in his freshman
season. He was named second team All-America by The AP after leading
Syracuse to a 30-5 record and the school's first NCAA championship
in men's basketball. Named Most Valuable Player of the 2003 NCAA
Final Four and MVP of NCAA East Regional, Melo was a consensus national
Freshman of the Year. Melo is
going to be an NBA star for years to come. Get this very cool hand-signed
photograph of Carmelo in action (check out Kobe in the background!),

Carmelo
Anthony & LeBron James new!
$589
This
great collectible is an action photograph of two of the NBA's brightest
young stars, Carmelo Anthony & LeBron James, hand-signed by
BOTH! Denver Nuggets Forward
Carmelo Anthony nearly did the impossible in his rookie season -
steal the limelight from fellow rookie LeBron James. He averaged
21 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, finished 2nd in the Rookie
of the Year voting (behind you know who), earned a unanimous NBA
All-Rookie First Team Selection, and became the third-youngest player
in NBA history to reach the 1,000 point plateau. Of course, LeBron
continues to amaze. In the 2004-2005 season LeBron finished 3rd
in the League in scoring (behind only Allen
Iverson and Kobe
Bryant) with a 27.2 ppg average. He also became the youngest
player ,at 19 years 272 days old, to score 2000 points (beating
Kobe by 277 days). The records will
just continue to fall for LeBron in the coming years, one of the
best young players in the NBA has ever seen. This very cool
photograph shows LeBron d'ing up on Carmelo and is signed by both.

Nobody
talks a better game than Charles Barkley. In fact, Sir Charles was
even named to the 1998-99 NBA All-Interview Team. But he could back
it up. He was an NBA MVP (1992-93), Nine-time NBA All-Star (1987-97),
All-Star Game MVP (1991), and was named to the All-NBA First Team
five times. This former Rocket, Sun, 76'er, and Auburn Tiger finished
his career 13th on the NBA's all-time scoring list (23,757). But
rebounding was his thing. Playing for Houston, the "Round Mound
of Rebound" grabbed his 12,000th career rebound against the
Trailblazers in 1999 to become only the second player in NBA history
to top 23,000 points, 12,000 rebounds and 4,000 assists (joining
the great Wilt
Chamberlain). In 1996, Charles received the ultimate
honor, being named one of the "50 Greatest Players" in
NBA History. Get this quality framed, hand-signed photograph of
Charles in action for the Rockets. A great collectible from one
of the all-time greats. [why

Before
joining the Golden State Warriors in 2007, Matt Barnes (born in
Santa Clara, CA) was the definition of a "journeyman"
player. Drafted by Memphis in 2002, Barnes also did short stints
in Cleveland, Seattle, L.A. (Clippers), Sacramento, and Philadelphia.
But all that changed when Barnes signed with Golden State as a
training camp invitee in October, 2006. Barnes, a high-school
All-American wide receiver, says that if he had not been signed
by the Warriors he would have tried out for the NFL. The NFL's
loss is definitely the NBA's gain. A few months later, on December
26, 2006, Barnes hit 7 three-point field goals to tie a Warriors
franchise record (later that same season broken by Jason
Richardson). During that 2006-07 season, Barnes went
on to make an impressive 106 three-pointers. Matt also added a
strong 2007 post-season, with 11.1 ppg and 5.7 rpg in eleven playoff
games and helped the #8 seed Warriors take down the #1 seed Mavericks
in what many call the greatest upset in NBA play-off history.
So impressive was Barnes in 2006/07 that he was named the Warriors
team captain (along with Stephen Jackson and Baron Davis) for
the 2007/08 season. Just an all-out competitor on the court, Matt
has quickly become one of the most popular Warriors - definitely
a fan favorite. This terrific hand-signed 8x10 photograph is Sports
Gallery Quality
Framed in thick black wood, UV-protective glass, and
classic Warriors double suede matting. A
great gift for any Warriors fan. [why

Richard
Francis Dennis Barry III graduated from Roselle Park (N.J.) High
School, before going on to graduate from the University of Miami.
Drafted by the San Francisco Warriors in 1965, Rick signed with
Oakland of ABA two years later. After also playing for the NY
Nets in the ABA, Barry finally returned to the Warriors in 1972.
His greatest season of professional basketball was undoubtedly
1975, when Barry led an otherwise ordinary Golden State club to
the NBA Championship, captaining the team and averaging 30.6 points,
second in the league. In a professional basketball career that
spanned from 1965 to 1980, Rick's name appears near the top of
every offensive category. Barry scored more than 25,000 points
and in four different seasons averaged more than 30 points. He
was named to 12 All-Star teams, four All-NBA First Teams, and
five All-ABA First Teams. Named one of the 50 Greatest Players
in history by the NBA in 1996, Barry is the only player to lead
the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), ABA and NBA
in scoring for an individual season. Put simply, Barry was a nearly
unstoppable offensive juggernaut and, more importantly, a passionate
competitor with an untempered desire to win. Get this unique vintage
u/s photograph of Rick Barry in his early Warrior days. Sports

Mike
Bibby has been a special basketball player from Day One. As a
freshman at University of Arizona he was named Pac-10 Freshman
of the Year and scored 20 points in the NCAA Semifinal game against
North Carolina and in the NCAA title game against Kentucky. The
next year he did even better, being named Pac-10 Player of the
Year and First Team All-America by the AP. Drafted by the Memphis
Grizzlies after his sophomore year, Bibby was named to the 1989-99
Schick All-Rookie First Team. Always near the top of the NBA Leaderboard
in assists and steals, Bibby is now the floor general for the
Sacramento Kings, where he hopes to lead them to the Title that
seems within their grasp. Get this very cool hand-signed photograph
of Bibby shooting the rock for his Kings. Framed in quality black
wood and UV-protective glass, this beauty would make a great gift

Andris
Biedrins new!
Golden State Warriors 11x14
$229
Golden
State Andris Biedrins is the Warriors "Big
Man" of the future...and present. Born on April 2,
1986 in Latvia, Andris was drafted by the Warriors with the 11th
overall pick in the 2002 draft. But it was during the 2006-07
season that Biedrins really made a name for himself. That season,
the Warriors (then) new coach Don Nelson, gave Biedrins the starting
spot at center, calling him "the best big man I've got."
Don had to like his decision as Biedrins thrived in his new role,
posting impressive averages of 10.3 points on an incredible .621
field goal percentage (1st in the NBA) and 9.5 rebounds. His breakthrough
game came in November 2006, when the Warriors beat the title favorites
San Antonio Spurs 119-111. Against Spurs superstar Tim Duncan,
Biedrins scored 18 points and pulled down 15 rebounds, also blocking
six shots, including three straight shot attempts by Duncan in
the third quarter. During this season he set career highs in points
(31 vs. Denver), rebounds (18 vs Charlotte), and blocks (7 vs
Denver), He finished fifth in Most Improved Player voting, losing
to teammate Monta
Ellis. This sweet 11x14 behind the glass view of Biedrins
taking it to the hole is a beauty. Hand-signed by Andris and Sports

Larry
Bird was the embodiment of "Celtics Pride." He was a
classy, confident, hardworking player who thrived on pressure
and inspired teammates to excel. For three consecutive seasons,
Bird was voted the league's MVP, the only forward to be so honored.
He was an NBA Finals MVP twice and a First-Team All-League selection
his first nine seasons. Most importantly this Hall of Famer brought
three World Championships to the Celtics and, thanks to his legendary
duels with Magic Johnson, elevated the NBA to new levels of popularity
around the world. Larry Legend indeed... This hand-signed vintage
photograph of Bird taking his patented jump shot is a great collectible.
Quality framed and matted in thick black wood, UV-protective glass
(very important for signature protection!) and Celtics-trim double
matting, it would make a great gift for any Celtics, Larry...or
just plain basketball...fan. [why

Larry
Bird new! 1981 NBA
Championship (w/ Red Auerbach)
$399
Two
Celtic Legends in one famous photograph. Red Auerbach is the architect
and mastermind behind one of the most dominant franchises in professional
sports history - the Boston Celtics. The cigar-chomping Auerbach
was an aggressive, demanding, and often volatile coach who, from
1959 to 1966, led the Celtics to eight straight NBA championships,
a streak unmatched in sports history. In 1980, the Professional
Basketball Writers Association of America (PBWAA) named Auerbach
the greatest coach in the history of the NBA. After coaching,
Auerbach joined the Celtics front office full-time where he and
the Celtics continued their dominance. Of Course, Larry Bird was
a 12-time NBA All-Star who scored over 21,000 points during his
13 years as a Celtic. More importantly to Celtic fans, he brought
three World Championship trophies home to Boston during his career.
This famous Boston Globe image of Red and Larry (and the trophy!)
was token moments after their 1981 Championship, the Celtics'
14th. Hand-signed by Larry in silver sharpie and Sports Gallery

Larry
Bird & Magic Johnson new!
Retirement Night 16x20
$749
Throughout
the 1980's Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics and Magic Johnson
of the Los Angeles Lakers shared the spotlight as the best players
in the NBA. Both led their teams to multiple championships and
captivated the nation with their well-publicized rivalry. So much
so that these two are often credited with revitalizing interest
in the NBA which had fallen on hard times in the late 1970's.
But their rivalry actually started pre-NBA when they squared off
in the 1979 NCAA Championship Game. The most watched NCAA game
ever (at that time), many consider that game to be the one that
put the madness in the "March Madness" that we know
today. And their rivalry...and popularity...continued into the
NBA with each playing on perennial powers on opposite Coasts.
With 24 All-Star selections (12 each), 6 MVP Awards (3 each) and
8 NBA Championships (five for Magic; three for Larry) between
them, a strong case can be made that these two incredible basketball
talents formed the greatest rivalry in sports history. They were
certainly one of the most successful. This classic photograph
was taken during Bird's jersey retirement ceremony and is hand-signed
by BOTH of these Hall of Famers.

Did
you know?
Before leading Indiana State to the NCAA Championship
game, Bird started out his collegiate career as an Indiana
Hoosier playing for legendary coach Bobby Knight. He
later left IU for a local junior college, Northwood
Institute, before eventually becoming a Sycamore.
Kobe
has been the man since High School. He was selected by USA Today
and Parade Magazine as the National High School Player of the Year
as a senior at Lower Merion H.S. In 1996, he made his NBA debut
at the age of 18 years, 2 months and 11 days to become the youngest
player ever to appear in an NBA game. In 1998 he became the youngest
All-Star in NBA history (at that time), posting 18 points and 6
rebounds in the game. A member of the Lakers 2000, 2001, and 2002
Championship teams, Kobe is an nine-time NBA All-Star (amazingly,
a starter in each of those appearances) and five-time All-NBA First-Teamer.
A two-time All-Star MVP, Kobe just seems to be getting better. 2005/2006
was perhaps his best statistical season as he led the League in
scoring with a 35.4 ppg average. On January 22, 2006, Kobe scored
an amazing 81 points, the second highest single game point total
in NBA history behind only Wilt
Chamberlain. In 2006/07 he again led the league in scoring
(31.6 ppg) and finished the year with a staggering ten 50-plus point
games becoming the only player other than...yes, Wilt Chamberlain...to
do it in one season. An awesome basketball talent, we have two awesome
photographs Kobe jammin' it, one during the All-Star game and one
during his historic 81-point game. Both are Sports
Gallery Quality Framed
in thick black wood, UV-protective glass, and suede double-matting.
Great collectibles from a great basketball talent.

Kobe
Bryant & LeBron James new! 8x10 & 16x20
Kobe
Bryant is definitely the man
on the Los Angeles Lakers...really in the NBA since the retirement
of Michael Jordan. And the player most experts are predicting
to be the next Michael Jordan is the Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron
James. No player in NBA history entered the league to as much
fanfare as LeBron James and remarkably the Akron, Ohio native
delivered. He became the NBA Rookie Award's youngest recipient,
averaging 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists. In so doing,
he joinined Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan as the only NBA
rookies to average at least 20-5-5. This photograph of Kobe defending
his main competition for NBA superiority (how's that for symbolism!)
is an awesome collectible. Hand-signed by BOTH
of these two great players, we simply do not get an item like
this very often. And right now we have it in both 8x10 and 16x20
(very rare!) versions. Sports Gallery Quality Framed with thick
wood, UV-protective glass and classic double-matting, this is
a special collectible for that special sports fan.
This
former UNC Tarheel and Toronto Raptor is a five-time NBA All-Star
(2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, & 2005), leading all players in votes
received in four of those years - a level of popularity attained
only by Dr. J. and Michael Jordan. Vince represented the USA at
the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, leading this talented team
in scoring. One of the most acrobatic players in the league, Vince
won the the 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. The all-time Toronto Raptors
leading scorer, many think Vince is the heir apparent to MJ as
the League's most exciting player. Only time will tell but Vince
has certainly become one of the elite players in the NBA in very
short period of time. This unique hand-signed photo collage celebrates
Carter's 1998 NBA Rookie of the Year Award with the Raptors. A

He
was basketball's unstoppable force, the most awesome offensive force
the game has ever seen. Asked to name the greatest players ever
to play basketball, most fans and aficionados would put Wilt Chamberlain
at or near the top of the list. Wilt Chamberlain as a Laker won
33 straight games and the NBA title in 1971-72. As Oscar Robertson
put it in the Philadelphia Daily News when asked whether Chamberlain
was the best ever, "The books don't lie." The record books
are indeed heavy with Chamberlain's accomplishments. He was the
only NBA player to score 4,000 points in a season. He set NBA single-game
records for most points in a game (100 in a legendary game vs. the
Knicks in Hershey, PA on March 2, 1962), most consecutive field
goals (18) and most rebounds (55). Perhaps his most mind-boggling
stat was the 50.4 points per game he averaged during the 1961-62
season - and if not that, then perhaps the 48.5 minutes per game
he averaged that same year. He retired as the all-time in career
points with 31,419, (later surpassed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl
Malone and Michael Jordan). He is tops in rebounds with 23,924.
He led the NBA in scoring seven years in a row. He was the league's
top rebounder in 11 of his 14 seasons. But the most outstanding
figures are definitely his scoring records; Most games with 50+
points, 118; Most consecutive games with 40+ points, 14; Most consecutive
games with 30+ points: 65; Most consecutive games with 20+ points:
126; Highest rookie scoring average: 37.6 ppg; Highest field goal
percentage in a season: .727. His name appears so often in the scoring
record books that his name could be the default response any time
a question arises concerning a scoring record in the NBA. This amazing
collectible was hand-signed by Wilt before his death, along with
his famous nickname "Wilt the Silt."

To
say Baron Davis is the cornerstone of the resurgent Golden State
Warriors would be an understatment. In many ways, Baron IS
the Golden State Warriors. Baron is an all-purpose point guard who
can score, pass and drive the lane. His physical strength, scoring
ability, and playmaking skills make him a rare triple-double threat
at point guard. The third pick in the 1999 NBA Draft by the Charlotte
Hornets, Davis was selected to two All-Star teams as a Hornet (2002
and 2004) and played for the US national team in the 2002 FIBA World
Championship. However, February 24, 2005, was really the begginning
of Davis' NBA career as that was the day he was traded from the
Hornets to the Golden State Warriors, returning Baron to California
where he played his college ball at UCLA. And the return of Don
Nelson and his high scoring offensive system to the Warriors was
a perfect fit for Davis' uptempo style. In 2006/07, alll Davis did
was lead the Warriors to their first playoff appearance since 1994
and the largest upset in NBA history when the Warriors defeated
the #1 seed Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the play-offs.
His performance in the 2007 NBA Playoffs drew praise from basketball
analysts, many of whom claimed Davis was the best player in the
post-season. Watch out for Davis and the Warriors this season! This
11x14 photograph of Baron in throwback Warriors' uniform is hand-signed
