Not only is Jerry Rice considered one of the best wide receivers in history, but he is quite possibly the greatest NFL player at any position. Also widely recognized as one of the most dedicated figures in all of sports, Rice will forever be remembered for his superior conditioning and route running. One of the most reported examples of his unprecedented workout regimens may be "The Hill", a long steep hill that is two and a half miles up. Rice would sprint across the hill literally every day to make sure he maximized his potential on the field and had the edge against all opponents. That "edge" was on full display when Rice put on a Superman cape during the 49ers' 1992 season. A remarkable jersey that was gifted to NBA superstar Larry Johnson, it is signed by Rice on the back sewn-on numeral in bold Sharpie ("To Larry Johnson, Best Wishes, Larry Rice"). The proper tags are on the tail and light wear is exhibited throughout. The jersey is authenticated as game used by MEARS with the grade of A10 - it doesn't get any better than that! The autograph has also been authenticated by PSA/DNA with a certificate of authenticity. This is great piece of sports memorabilia gifted from one great player to another! Accompanied by all appropriate paperwork as well as a letter of provenance from a friend of Larry Johnson.
