T.J. Ford, Welcome to the Collection

Posted by JakeTheSnake on December 16th, 2008 in Articles

We all know that Gilbert Arenas has a pretty ridiculous jersey collection (including a throwback Chick Hearn!) that’s always growing, presumably out of the fear that one day they’ll stop producing jerseys altogether and Gilbert will be the only place to turn to get a jersey…or something like that.

Anyways, last night during the Wizards-Pacers game, Gilbert added T.J. Ford’s jersey to his collection:

Rehabilitating Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas added yet another autographed jersey to his collection when the Pacers came to town, getting Indiana point guard T.J. Ford to sign a road jersey before game time.

Ford is a fifth-year player with a career average of 11.8 points and 6.7 assists, but his jersey wouldn’t be considered a hot commodity to many basketball fans. Arenas believes differently, however.

“I had to get it; he didn’t play for them last year,” Arenas said in the locker room before the game. “If it’s an NBA player’s jersey, it’s worth something. Any autographed NBA jersey is worth at least $250.

“But Kobe’s is worth between $550 and $750,” said Arenas, who figures his own official autographed jersey is worth between $250 and $500.
