This game-worn jersey from the 2003-04 NBA season captures the essence of Yao Ming's dominant presence as a towering force for the Houston Rockets. The Reebok white home jersey is a size 56 with an additional 4 inches of length, custom-fitted for the 7'6" Hall of Famer. The jersey exhibits visible game use, including several loose threads and a few light stains, offering a tangible connection to Yao’s intense on-court battles during the season. This classic Rockets design, worn during Yao’s early years in the league, symbolizes his impact as an international icon and transformative figure in basketball.
Adding to its collectible appeal, Yao has signed the rear of the jersey in bold black Sharpie, making this piece a coveted item for any fan or collector. Please note there is a vertical Sharpie mark on the front of the jersey, which does not detract from the overall allure of this rare artifact. This jersey is an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of history from one of the game’s most unique and celebrated players.
