The crowning culmination of “Air Jordan’s” lofty career, it seemed only fitting that “His Airness” would close out his days in a Chicago Bulls uniform with a sixth NBA championship and sixth NBA Finals MVP Award. The last shot Jordan ever took in a Chicago Bulls uniform sealed the deal against the Utah Jazz, a now legendary crossover dribble move and jump shot in the final seconds of Game Six at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on June 14, 1998. Although Jordan would later make a brief comeback with the Washington Wizards from 2001-2003 he is of course best remembered wearing the white red and black of the Chicago Bulls like this size-50 white mesh home jersey that was issued to him specifically for the 1998 NBA Finals. “Bulls” and Jordan’s number “23” are sewn onto the front of the jersey in red and black tackle twill and the collar and sleeve openings are trimmed in red, white and black elastic with and NBA logo patch embroidered on the left front shoulder and an “NBA Finals” logo path on the right front shoulder. NBA Authentics, Team Nike Sports and Chicago Bulls manufacturer’s labels are on the left front tail with a “Length +4 Made in the U.S.A flag tag. Jordan’s name and number “23” are also in red and black tackle twill on the back of the jersey. Clean white jersey was personally issued to Jordan for the 1998 NBA Finals but was not worn and comes with Team Nike Sports LOA.
