Take a step back in time, to a glorious era in sports posters, and a glorious era in the NBA! This vintage classic takes you back to All-Star weekend 1986, and one of the most memorable moments in Slam Dunk Contest history. Many thought it was a joke to see the league's shortest player, Spud Webb, on the list of entrants in the competition that year. But after a magical performance, including this above-the-rim magic, it was none other than the 5'7" guard at the top of the podium! No one so small, has soared so high, ever since. 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. As a bonus, this poster features the Hawks' logo of the era; Spud's official height measurement, and the title "NBA SLAM DUNK CHAMPION" as design elements as well.

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 (this one has a minor crease in the top-right border area that you can see in the image). The picture you see here is the actual poster you will receive! Don't miss your chance at this one, '80s hoops fans - only one available.
