Hakeem Olajuwon "Rookie Slam" Houston Rockets Vintage Original Poster - Sports Illustrated by Marketcom 1985
Item #: MC4452
Take a step back in time, to a glorious era in sports posters, and a glorious era in Houston Rockets basketball! This vintage classic takes you back to the rookie season of #1-overall draft pick Hakeem Olajuwon - then, known as "Akeem Abdul Olajuwon", who joined with fellow Twin Tower Ralph Sampson to make the Rockets an instant contender, in an era that peaked with the 1986 Western Conference Championship. As with all posters in the "White Border" Sports Illustrated design that spanned the years 1978-1987, this one features the best of Sports Illustrated photography, the iconic white-bordered layout, and a facsimile signature from the player himself as part of the design.
This particular poster was obtained as part of our "Toledo Collection", obtained from a collector in Ohio who preserved his large collection of old 1980s Sports Illustrated posters flat, never displayed on the wall, and virtually untouched since purchasing them out of store racks back in the day. This one displays as well as it would have back in the 1980s, with just some minor typical imperfections consistent with any poster purchased at that time. The picture you see here is the actual poster you will receive! Don't miss your chance at this one, '80s hoops fans!
