Michael Jordan has signed this Sports Illustrated magazine on the cover in bold black marker along his image. This is one of the nicest rookie Jordan signatures you’ll see as his strong signature pops along his image in the road Bulls uniform. Beckett Authentication agrees as well giving Jordan’s signature it’s highest grade of GEM MT 10. It didn’t take long for the NBA and basketball fans of Chicago to realize they had something special in the rookie Jordan. Already having a successful collegiate career at North Carolina and leading Team USA to the gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Jordan quickly established himself as a rising force in the NBA in 1984. Offered here is the December 10, 1984 edition of Sports Illustrated that features Michael Jordan on the cover. The image shows Jordan rising up with the ball over three Milwaukee Bucks defenders. The caption reads in green “A STAR IS BORN” with the subheading to the left “Michael Jordan Lights Up The NBA”. A great collectible from the greatest basketball player of all-time. This comes with a LOA from Beckett Authentication, who have graded Jordan’s signature a GEM MINT 10.
