The 1994 – 95 NBA Rookie of the Year for the Detroit Pistons led a stellar 18-year career, including seven All-Star Game appearances. He announced his retirement June 1, 2013.
The front of this Nike Team Sports mesh white-with-teal-red-and-yellow-trim jersey has the tackle-twill “Pistons” stitched across the black-gray appliqué horse insignia. Below is Hill’s number “33” in teal with yellow-black trim. On the reverse, “Hill” is stitched in tackle-twill teal across the shoulders. The left hip area sports the woven tags of NBA Authentic, Nike Team Sports (with name/#/size), separate “LENGTH +4/Made in USA” tag, and a black tag with Pistons logo on it. Inside the left side seam are two tags, one with the Nike Swoosh and year “1997 – 98” the other with laundering instructions. The woven NBA logo is stitched to the left shoulder strap. Evidence of light game use can be found with sweat discolorations on the shoulder straps. Hill boldly signed his name and number to the top of the left “3” on the jersey’s back in black Sharpie (grade 8 – 9). A LOA from game-worn jersey expert, Dave Miedema, accompanies this item as does a COA from PSA/DNA (#U69415).
