LeRoy Ellis Signed Autograph 8x10 Photo and 50 similar items

Single owner, non smoking home for over 50 years. My sister got this from Mr Ellis when he made an appearance at her elementary school's annual carnival in the mid 1970s. This is an original 8x10 photo signed by LeRoy Ellis, a former player for the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA. This autographed photo is a unique piece of sports memorabilia for basketball fans and collectors alike, showcasing the player's signature as proof of authenticity. It is a valuable addition to any fan's collection, especially for those who appreciate the history and legacy of these iconic basketball teams. A 6'11" center from St. John's University, Ellis set the St. John's records for highest rebounding average in a season (16.5) and most rebounds in one game with 30. In his senior year, he received the 1962 Haggerty Award as the All-Metropolitan New York Division I men's college basketball player of the year. Ellis was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round (8th pick overall) of the 1962 NBA draft. He played in 1,048 games over 14 seasons (1962?1976) in the NBA with the Lakers, Baltimore Bullets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Philadelphia 76ers, and was a member of the 1971?72 Los Angeles Lakers championship team, which also won a then-record 69 games in the regular season, and recorded the longest winning streak in NBA history with 33 wins. The following season, Ellis was traded to the 76ers, who had an NBA-worst 73 losses in an 82-game season. At the close of his NBA career 1976, Ellis had amassed career totals of 10,176 points and 8,709 rebounds.
