A remarkable, and valuable, trio of basketball artifacts ? Lew Alcindor?s 1969-1971 game worn Milwaukee Bucks jersey (his last before becoming Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), Oscar Robertson?s 1970-?71 NBA Championship Season game worn Milwaukee Bucks jersey and Kareem?s first set of game worn goggles, from 1974 ? are expected to bring more than $150,000 altogether at auction on Feb. 23 in New York as part of Heritage Auctions? Platinum Night Sports event. The pieces have been consigned by Dr. Patrick McBride, Dean of Students of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Medical Schools, who also holds the distinction ? which stands to this day ? of having been named the youngest Equipment Manager in the history of professional sports. McBride has kept the pieces in his closet for the last 40 years.
