Coming from a humble background and standing at just five and a half feet tall, Webb was doubted by many. Webb did not have big-time college basketball offers out of high school, so he began his collegiate career in junior college and led his team to a junior college national title in 1982. After leaving junior college, Webb ended up at North Carolina State University where he would play two seasons before being drafted in the fourth round of the 1985 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons. Webb would ultimately end up on the Atlanta Hawks for his rookie season and immortalize his name in basketball by winning the 1986 NBA Slam Dunk Contest while standing only five and a half feet tall.This basketball is autographed and inscribed by Spud Webb with a silver paint pen. Webb's signature and inscription were witnessed by an Upper Deck representative as part of UDA's 5-step authentication process.
