While Chris Paul remains a free agent at this time, he will always be a member of the 2008 Gold Metal winning United States Basketball team. Tagged the “Redeem Team” after a disapointing 2004 Bronze Metal affare, the “Redeem Team” would go on to make America proud defeating their opponates by an average of 29 points & taking home the gold in a match versus Spain.
Offered here is an extremely rare & desirable game used & signed Chris Paul jersey from that magical 2008 year. Sourced directly from Paul to our consignor, a personal friend of the Paul family, as he explains, “He pulled three jerseys out his gym bag, he threw one to me, one to his Mother and another to his Grandfather then signed them for us.” The jersey it self shows good-use and with no difference in patches or production to metal game jerseys, this could be the exact jersey which was worn in the gold metal match versus Spain! This away style blue Nike jersey has the manufacturer's size "XL" tag with the "USA BASKETBALL" and "UNITED WE RISE" logos. Attached to that is an additional manufacturers tag with "LENGTH +2" on it. Above this is "GAMES OF THE XXIX OLYMPIAD" embroidered in gold. Also adding to the value of this jersey in Chris Paul’s signature on the front number. Signed in blue ballpoint adding his Olympic number “13”. Overall the jersey is in fine condition and shows evidence of use with no alterations of any kind. A true gem for any game used collector. We guarantee this lot to pass PSA/DNA or JSA authentication, and full certification can be arranged for an additional fee (please contact us for further details).
