Every NBA All-Star Game MVP who ever played on the hallowed hardwood of the Boston Garden, either as a Celtic or an opponent, signed this 24 x 24" partition of parquet. Numbering 21 in all, among the names are some roundball royalty -- hometown heroes Bob Cousy, Bill Sharman & Tiny Archibald, Paul Arizin, Bob Petit, Julius Erving, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, Rick Barry, Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, Dave Bing, Jerry Lucas, George Gervin, David Thompson, Ralph Sampson, Hal Greer, and Adrian Smith. Their NRMT signatures in black marker adorn the 24 x 24" square, the top slat of which is shorter than the rest leaving a slight gap. Parquet is mounted against a green marble-style background to the left of one plaque bearing the Celtic logo and "The Historic Boston Garden Parquet" and another explaining the distinction of the NBA All-Star Game MVPs who signed the parquet. Dazzling display is preserved under glass within a sturdy 43 x 48" mahogany frame with a small amount of surface chipping that can be easily repaired. Overall, piece is NRMT and another humbling piece of parquet "butter." With LOA from Celtics.
