Randy Smith's performance at the 1978 NBA All-Star game in Atlanta may have stolen the show with his game-high 27 points off the bench (on 11-for-14 shooting) including nailing deep buzzer-beaters at the end of each quarter in the first half in the East's 133-125 win but David Thompson had a standout game as well in a losing cause. He was the leading scorer for the West squad logging 22 points on 10-of-16 shooting in 35 minutes on the floor. This is the actual ring presented to Thompson marking his participation in that game. This Size 10 1/2 Pallidium Plus Balfour ring is stamped "LGB P+" on the inside band. It features a metal basketball at center set atop a dark blue backstone flanked top to bottom by "NBA" and "ALL STAR." On one side of the band the name "Thompson" appears bannered above the official NBA logo in red and blue enamel and year 78. On the opposite side of the band the host city ATLANTA is bannered above an enameled Atlanta Hawks logo. Thompson's 1978 All-Star ring comes in the original 4-inch-square red and white presentation box with ring inside showcased on a small white "pillow"; ring and original box appear to be in as-issued and problem-free condition.
Comes with a Letter of Authenticity from David Thompson.
