NEIL JOHNSTON: Basketball HOFer: NBA Scoring Champ: Rare Autographed Picture

Description

NEIL JOHNSTON (1929-78):  2x6" black and white 1950s newspaper picture hand-autographed by Basketball Hall of Fame member.  A three-time NBA scoring champion, his autographs are very uncommon.  Only played eight years in the league before a knee injury forced his retirement.  Led in scoring in 1952-3 season and for the following two years.  Then ranked 3rd and 4th the next seasons.  Six time All-Star; three-time first team NBA, and one year he was second team. His entire playing career was with the Philadelphia Warriors, and he led the team to the 1956 league title. Came to pro basketball out of The Ohio State University.  After retirement he served as Warrior coach, posting a record of 95-59 over two years.  He was Wilt Chamberlain's first head coach.  This is a nice item ... any kind of signed picture of Neil is truly rare.    Very good condition.
