MINNEAPOLIS MORNING TRIBUNE, April 26, 1952
* Minneapolis Lakers win NBA title (1st report)
* George Mikan "Mr. Basketball"
* Best title to be had (very rare)
The front page has a three column photo showing the Lakers coach on the shoulders of George Mikan with heading: "Champion Coach Gets A Ride" Also a two column heading: "Lakers Defeat N.Y., 82-65, Take Title" More in the sport's page with banner heading and another related photo. First report coverage on the Minneapolis (Los Angeles) Lakers winning the 1951-52 NBA basketball title lead by George Mikan. Great to have in this Minneapolis publication, very rare as such.
Complete with 24 pages, light toning at the margins, tiny binding holes along the spine, generally nice.
