Jeff Hamilton NBA All-Star Jacket (Signed, 2000)

A custom Jeff Hamilton leather jacket worn by Jam Master Jay during Run-DMC’s halftime performance at the 2000 NBA All-Star Game.

The jacket appears unsigned in broadcast footage, indicating the signatures were added later that night. After the performance, Jay remained courtside with floor access, where he collected signatures from multiple NBA players, including Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Grant Hill, and Julius Erving.

According to Jay’s son, Jesse Mizell, original floor seat passes were found inside the jacket, tying it directly to the event.

Jeff Hamilton is widely regarded as a key figure in leather jacket design across hip-hop and sports culture. The jacket’s full leather construction and colour-blocked sleeves reflect his signature style.

Jay chose this piece over the group’s coordinated stage outfit, opting for a more distinctive look.

A one-of-one, performance-worn jacket signed courtside during the 2000 NBA All-Star Game.
