The great Michael Jordan wore this Washington Wizards home jersey during the 2002-2003 NBA season and has been photo matched by Resolution Photomatching to the October 31st, 2002 game at the MCI Center in Washington, DC between the Wizards and Boston Celtics. Jordan, during the Wizards’ home opener, scored 21 points in a rare occurrence coming off the bench during the Wizards 114-69 rout of the Celtics. This was the final year Jordan, a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, 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.

This mesh jersey has “WIZARDS” sewn across the chest in blue, gold, and black tackle twill. Jordan’s iconic number “23” is sewn on the chest and back in blue, gold, and black tackle twill. “JORDAN” is sewn across the back shoulders in blue and gold tackle twill. The sleeve openings and collar of this jersey feature blue, gold, and black bands, and a similarly colored strip runs down the left side of this jersey. An NBA logo patch is sewn on the upper left chest. A Nike/NBA Authentics size “50” tag with a “LENGTH +4” flag is sewn on the bottom front left area of the jersey. This jersey shows good signs of game use and has been signed by Jordan diagonally in black marker on the “2” on the back of the jersey. This jersey comes with a LOA from Resolution Photomatching (425420) for the game use and has been photo matched to the October 31st contest. Jordan’s signature comes with a STICKER ONLY from Upper Deck Authenticated with the hologram (SHO05415) that is affixed to the “2” on the back of the jersey.
