Before he established his credentials as a stylish Hall of Fame coach, Pat Riley enjoyed a modest nine-year NBA playing career. This circa 1970s Pat Riley game worn Lakers jersey is of the road purple variety, numbers and outside white trim are lightly stained purple. A "Tiernan" tag is on the bottom tail and his name is individually-stitched above the 3-D number 12 on back, as it overall shows nice use with some loose stitching. As a player, Riley was more of a defensive specialist and contributed to the Lakers' 1972 NBA Championship.
