Photograph signed: "Bill Sharman". B/w, 8¼x10 overall, image

Utah Stars logo imprinted at lower left. In the 1970-1971, Bill Sharman
(1926-2013) coached the Utah Stars (formerly the Los Angeles Stars) to an ABA
title and was further rewarded for his efforts by being a co-recipient of ABA
Coach of the Year honors. William Walton "Bill" Sharman (born in
1926) was one of the first NBA guards to push his goal percentage above
.400 in a season. Playing primarily with the Boston Celtics over his
11-season career, Sharman was on four championship Celtic teams. He was
voted to the All-NBA First or Second teams seven times and he played in
eight NBA All-Star games and led the NBA seven years in free throw
percentage. After retiring as a player in 1961, Sharman found success as
a coach in three professional leagues (the American Basketball League, the
American Basketball Association and the NBA). Head coach of the San Francisco
Warriors (1966-1968), the Utah Stars (1968-1971; championship in
1971) and the Los Angeles Lakers (1971-1976; championship in 1972),
Sharman was named NBA Coach of the Year in 1972, becoming one of only two
men (the other was Alex Hannum) to win NBA and ABA championships as a coach. He
was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1976 as a player and in
2004 as a coach, joining John Wooden and Lenny Wilkens one of only three men to
be enshrined in both categories. Ink has "haloed". Minor surface creases (most
not evident head on). Slightly soiled at right and lower blank margins. Overall,
fine condition.
