Tremendous Game Worn Jersey from MJ's Remarkable 72-10 Championship Season!By acclimation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all-time. Although, a summary of his basketball career and influence on the game inevitably fails to do it justice. As a phenomenal athlete with a unique combination of fundamental soundness, grace, speed, power, artistry, improvisational ability combined with an unquenchable competitive desire, Jordan single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar. This jersey was worn during the NBA record 72-win season of 1995-1996. Jordan's individual accolades and accomplishments include five MVP awards, 10 All-NBA first-team designations, nine All-Defensive First Team honors, 14 NBA All-Star game appearances and three All-Star MVP awards, 10 scoring titles, three steals titles, six NBA Finals MVP awards and the 1988 NBA defensive player of the year award.
The offered game worn jersey showcases all the necessary identifiers and nice signs of usage. On the left front tail is the Champion manfacture size 46 tag with wash instructions. Adjacent is the "Designed & Tailored 95/96 Exclusively for Chicago Bulls" tag. Across the front is "Bulls." Below and on back is player number "23." Across the back is the player name "Jordan." All numbering in lettering is done in red on black on white tackle twill. On the left breast is the official "NBA" embroidered logo. Numbers and seams exhibit some fraying to the stitching as expected with usage. Along the right shoulder strap is a bit of staining, likely from Jordan quickly wiping his mouth after drinking Gatorade. Capping off this game worn masterpiece is a back felt tip marker autograph on the back number.
The jersey is supported by solid provenance, including a Letter of Authenticity from game used memorabilia authority Grey Flannel; a Letter of Authenticity from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame; and for the signature, a Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication/JSA.
The more time that elapses from Jordan's time in the game of basketball has made us realize just how special he was as a player, and in turn as his mythical legacy grows, so does the value of his collectibles and in particular his game worn relics. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire a collection centerpiece!
