Lawrence Taylor was in the early part of his career in 1983-85, the year of this jersey. Taylor is a Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker who played his entire 13-year career with the New York Giants (1981-93). Taylor was a major part of two Super Bowl winners, and he was the NFL MVP in 1986 when he led the league in sacks with 20.5. He is on the NFL 100th. Anniversary Team. "Lawrence Taylor, defensively, has had as big an impact as any player I've ever seen," said Famed coach and announcer John Madden. "He changed the way defense is played, the way pass rushing is played, the way linebackers play, and the way offenses block linebackers." The Harlem Wizards are an independent basketball team modeled to be a rival of the Harlem Globetrotters. Over the years, basketball greats such as Connie Hawkins and Tiny Archibald played for the Wizards, as well as more than 23 other former NBA players. This 1983/85 Harlem Wizard's Lawrence Taylor game used basketball jersey is framed to 32x27". The red, white, and blue jersey has Taylor's Giants' football number "56." The jersey shows nice wear, and also included is a team photo of the Wizards.
