Zydrunas Ilgauskas Autographed "Jump Shot" Photo

When he arrived in the NBA via his native Lithuania, Zydrunas Ilgauskas quickly joined a growing group of big men who could step away from the basket and still consistently knock down shots. The 7-foot-3 center was still comfortable in the paint, but he did a lot of his damage as a mid-range jump shooter. The extra benefit of his ability to pop out that far was that he regularly brought his man out with him, freeing up the inside from potential blocked shots. He had a tremendous effect on the NBA, particularly in Cleveland. The two-time All-Star overcame a litany of injuries to forge a career that saw him score more than 10,000 points, haul in more than 6,000 rebounds and block more than 1,300 shots. He eventually saw his number 11 retired in Cleveland. Here, he is following through on a mid-range jumper against the Celtics. Ilgauskas has signed this Jump Shot 8" x 10" image in black paint pen. His signature is deemed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated's Five Step Process.
