Shaq's Personal Game Used & PHOTO-MATCHED Game Ball from His 10,000th Career Rebound Game
Direct from Shaq's Personal Collection!
On December 6, 2004, Shaquille O'Neal snared his 10,000th career rebound from a missed shot by Utah's Gordon Giricek during the 3rd quarter of a game between the Miami Heat and Utah Jazz. This marked a significant achievement in Shaq's legendary career, all the while helping the Heat propel past the Jazz in a 100-80 victory.
The basketball, which is a Spalding NBA Utah Jazz leather game model basketball, shows extensive usage including numerous scuffs and stains from usage. The ball showcases a custom hand-painted tribute to Shaq's accomplishment that was added by the team prior to being presented to Shaq.
This ball has been reviewed by the experts at Sports Investors Authentication (SIA) and has been conclusively photomatched to being used in the game based on unique markings as identified in SIA's letter of authentication.
Personally owned by Shaq since being presented to him shortly after the game, this ball was proudly displayed by the NBA legend for the better part of the last 2 decades in his office at his former home in Orlando, FL, and we've included a screen shot from an interview with Shaq that shows the ball in Shaq's office.
A tremendous game used personal relic from the collection of the most dominant center in basketball history! Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity and Photo-Matching from Sports Investors Authentication (SIA) and a personally signed Letter of Provenance from Shaq himself (which has been authenticated by Beckett Authentication/BAS).
