This offered jersey marks the beginning of modern-day basketball, from the 1990-91 season that made Michael Jordan, MICHAEL JORDAN. The kid from North Carolina had emerged after five seasons with the Chicago Bulls as one of the stand-out stars of the time. His gravity defying style of play had earned him the Rookie of the Year Award, the 1988 NBA MVP and even a Gold Olympic Medal. Yet one thing eluded number 23 and the Bulls - the NBA Championship. Every season, despite Jordan's heroics, the Bulls rolled into the playoffs only to be foiled each time. By 1990 Chicago had assembled a team led by Phil Jackson that became the perfect platform for Jordan to explode into greatness. Averaging 31.5 points per game, number 23 stunned NBA fans and was the obvious choice for league MVP as the Bulls advanced again to the post season.

While the Bulls had come this far many a time, this time Jordan and the reorganized Bulls destroyed the Knicks and Sixers in the first two rounds. Meeting the arch-rival Detroit Pistons, Jordan humiliated the team leading Isaiah Thomas to take his team off the court before the game even ended and retreat into the locker room without shaking hands with their victors. This white mesh jersey has "BULLS" and Jordan's immortal number "23" in red and black appliqué. The NBA logo is on the upper left chest and the left front tail has the Champion size 44 tagging. The collar and arm openings have the red, white and black striped ribbing. The back features "JORDAN" in red and that famous number "23" in red and black, both applied with appliqué. This jersey displays moderate to heavy game use with some stains and adding to this impressive gamer is the highly coveted signature of Jordan himself, who signed his name in black marker below and to the right of his number on the back. This comes with a LOA from MEARS (314191) for the game use, who have graded this jersey a solid A8, a PSA/DNA STICKER ONLY and a LOA from JSA (Y84004) for the signature.
