The Earliest Known Championship Signed Basketball from Former Players
From the second season of what is now known as the NBA (formerly BAA) comes this official signed basketball. No ball exists from the inaugural 1946-47 season, making this 1947-48 Baltimore Bullets specimen the earliest "NBA" championship ball available. It is distinguished by signatures from all 10 players on the roster and is vintage inscribed "BALTIMORE BULLETS 1947-48 B.A.A CHAMPS." PSA/DNA, JSA Global, and Grady Lewis LOA (former player). The 1946-47 Bullets - a precursor to the Washington Bullets - joined the then-seven-team league from the ABL that fall and went on to capture the crown, defeating the defending champion Philadelphia Warriors in six games.
