Here is something that doesn't come along very often — or ever: a single auction lot of the 1988 Showtime Los Angeles Lakers's game-worn and champagne-stained 1988 NBA Finals kicks (12 pairs in total). The lot includes Magic Johnson's Converse ERX-400 hightops, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's white adidas lows and James Worthy's signature New Balance. Why these were given to reserve big man Mike Smrek instead of the Basketball Hall of Fame is beyond us, but Springfield's loss and potentially your gain. Check out all the images of this once in a lifetime opportunity, and hope Jack Nicholson doesn't decide he wants them.
