Lot 1736: Dave Bing Washington Bullets Game Used Warmup Jacket

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $300.00

The hands extending from the l's in "bullets" to reach the basketball provide the kitsch of Dave Bing's game-used Washington warmup jacket from the 1976 and '77 seasons. The player himself gives the garment its class. Despite a detached retina, Bing, a seven-time All-Star with the Pistons, continued the twilight of his career with Washington and excelled for two winning teams. Red- and white-striped upper chest and back; blue sleeves with white stars; and a white No. 21 (dryer-crumpled and frayed) on the front with red border leave no doubt that Bing's team toiled in the nation's capital.
