When Michael Jordan returned to basketball after a three-year layoff, it was as if the “His Airness” didn’t miss a beat. Even at age 38, Jordan still found a way to dominate on the hardwood, averaging 22.9 and 20 points, respectively, for the Washington Wizards during the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons.

Jordan last wore this offered Washington Wizards white home heavy mesh jersey during the December 14th, 2001 game against the New York Knicks at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C. Jordan dropped 19 points, while adding six rebounds and six assists as the Wizards won their sixth game in row, defeating New York 96-80. This jersey displays moderate game use with the right chest of the jersey features a red, white and blue ribbon and American flag patch, commemorating the events of September 11. “WIZARDS” appears across the chest in blue on brown-and-black tackle twill, with “JORDAN” across the back in blue-on-brown tackle twill. Jordan’s famed number “23” is found on both sides of the jersey in blue on brown-and-black tackle twill. The front tail of the jersey features a “Nike” manufacturer’s tag, size 50, and boasts an affixed “LENGTH +4” tag indicating size modifications, which are consistent with Jordan gamers. Jordan has signed his name in silver marker vertically on the “2” on the front of the jersey. This jersey comes with a LOA from Washington Sports & Entertainment for the game use, authenticating that Jordan wore this jersey during the December 14th game and a COA from Upper Deck Authentication (BAH76467) for the signature.
