While wearing this historic garment, Air Jordan became the 3rd player in NBA History to reach 29,000 career points. It seems fitting that on April 3, 1998, Michael Jordan reached that lofty plateau in a tremendous 41 point, 6 rebound and 6 assist performance — joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain as the only players (at the time). Presented is truly a Hall of Fame-caliber memento — a Chicago Bulls white home jersey worn by MJ in a 107-93 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves at the United Center. This beautiful and historic garment is properly tagged and in our opinion shows signs of appropriate game use as it is photomatched to the above mentioned game by Resolution Photomatching. The front of the jersey features the word "BULLS" and the number "23" as the back displays the iconic "JORDAN" and the number "23" all in red and black tackle twill characters.
Michael Jordan defines greatness with his perfect 6-0 record in the NBA Finals. The jersey that you are viewing was worn by Jordan during his quest for a 5th NBA MVP Award, a 10th Scoring Title and a 6th NBA Championship. This is one very few opportunities to own an absolutely authentic relic from the greatest name in the history of sports and one of the most popular names in human history. This is truly a visually stunning and historically significant jersey! The links below are major publications that covered Jordan's Historic 29,000 point career milestone. MJ's momentous 41 point performance on this career milestone night was national news.
