2 Bob Kurland Autographed Letters Related to His Hall of Fame Induction.
Lot 227. 2 Bob Kurland Autographed Letters Related to His Hall of Fame Induction. A 7-foot center, Kurland helped Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State) win NBA championships in 1945 and 1946. His ability to jump above the rim to stop opponents’ shots led to the NCAA’s ban on goal tending in 1945. He was one of the first players to dunk the ball regularly. Kurland played on U.S. gold medal teams at the 1948 and 1952 Olympics. He signed two letters, one on lined paper. In one letter, he discusses what his hall of fame induction means to him, and in the other, he describes what happened on his induction day. Kevin Keating authenticated the signatures, which are mint 9 to gem mint 10.
Winning Bid $20.
