George Mikan, nicknamed Mr. Basketball, was a professional basketball player for the Chicago American Gears and the Minneapolis Lakers of the NBL, the BAA and the NBA. Invariably playing with thick, round spectacles, the 6 ft 10 in, 245 pound Mikan is seen as one of the pioneers of professional basketball, redefining it as a game of so-called big men with his prolific rebounding, shot blocking, and his talent to shoot over smaller defenders with his ambidextrous hook shot, the result of his namesake Mikan Drill.

This 18" x 24" Bart Heldman print was signed in pencil by both Mikan and Heldman. It is numbered #119/500 and includes a PSA/DNA sticker and COA. This piece measures 19" x 25" including the frame.
