Among the all-time preeminent talents in the NBA was Charles Barkley, whose quick and aggressive play around the basket has placed him among the league's leading rebounders and scorers since the 1986-87 season. On the left front tail of the jersey is the year tag "87" and below is the "2"LB" label denoting two extra inches in body length. Both these labels are made of black Swiss embroidered stitch. Next to the year tag is the "Sand-Knit" exclusive label and below this is the "Sand-Knit" label with the size, "50." Across the front of the jersey is the name "Sixers" in white on blue tackle twill and on the back is the name "Barkley" in white tackle twill. The player number "34" appears on both the front and back of the jersey in white on blue tackle twill. On the upper left front is the "NBA" patch. The jersey comes with an additional letter of authenticity. It shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
