The 2002-03 season was the one for Michael Jordan, a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, who would grace the NBA with his presence on the hardwood before transitioning to a management and ownership role. Jordan, who came out of a three-year retirement to join the Wizards in 2001-02, averaged a cool 20 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game in 2002-03, despite being 39 years old. An All-Star in his final season, Jordan once again asserted his status as the greatest player in NBA history that year.

Offered here is a 2003 Eastern Conference Michael Jordan pro cut jersey. Made to the exact specifications of the jersey provided for the 2003 all-stars, this Reebok size 48 white jersey was designed in the same manor as the 1988 All-Star Game jerseys. The front of this jersey has “NBA” in red and blue tackle twill with the NBA logo to it’s left. Below that is Jordan’s number 23, which has been sewn on in blue tackle twill and “ALL-STAR” sewn on below Jordan’s number in red and blue tackle twill. The sides have six stars (three red, three blue) screen-printed. The NBA logo is embroidered on the upper left chest. The Reebok label with “ALL*STAR GAME ATLANTA 2003 DESIGNED BY REEBOK FOR THE NBA ATHLETE” is sewn on the bottom front tail and has a “+2 LENGTH” and “48” flags attached. Above the Reebok tag is an NBA “hardwood classics vintage” tag with a “1987-88” flag. The back of the jersey has “JORDAN” and “23” sewn on in blue tackle twill. The Wizards’ logo is sewn on above Jordan’s name. The collar and open sleeve ends have blue, white and red stripes. Jordan signed his name in black marker on the middle of the “2” on the back. This jersey comes with a COA from Upper Deck (SHO10403) for Jordan’s signature.
