This particular item is a Nike basketball that was issued to Bobby Frasor at UNC when he started his career. According to one of the managers, each player is issued (1) basketball upon beginning their career that they keep to use outside the regular basketball practices. This particular ball is the one issued to Eric Montross.
He signed the ball as well. This is a unique item. I will be listing other practice used jerseys along with some game used jerseys and game used sneakers so keep checking back if you are a Tar Heel collector.
