Grant Hill 1996-97 Game Used Photo Matched, Signed Detroit Pistons Road Jersey - Worn vs. Jordan & Later at MSG; Matched to 3 Games - Career High 18 Rebounds vs Mavs (Meigray/RGU) 1st Matched Hill Pistons Jersey to Auction

Presented is one of the most significant Grant Hill game-worn artifacts known to exist: the only known photo-matched Detroit Pistons-era Grant Hill jersey. Independently photo-matched by both MeiGray and Real Game Used (RGU), this exceptional jersey has been conclusively matched to multiple games during Hill's legendary 1996-97 All-NBA First Team season, including March 22, 1997 against Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, March 26, 1997 against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, and April 1, 1997 against the Dallas Mavericks. The jersey was worn on March 22, 1997 when Hill faced Michael Jordan and the eventual NBA Champion Chicago Bulls during their historic 69-win season. Despite Detroit's 103-88 loss, Hill delivered an outstanding performance with 22 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals while sharing the floor with the greatest player of his generation. Just four days later, Hill wore the jersey at basketball's most iconic venue, Madison Square Garden, against the New York Knicks. In the 105-94 contest, Hill recorded 18 points and 9 rebounds while competing on the sport's grandest stage, long regarded as the mecca of basketball. The jersey was worn again on April 1, 1997 as Detroit defeated Dallas 100-82. In what can reasonably be considered one of the finest statistical performances of his Hall of Fame career, Hill exploded for 35 points, a career-high 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. The 18 rebounds remain tied for the highest single-game total of his NBA career and showcased the unique versatility that made Hill one of the league's most complete players. During the 1996-97 season, Hill averaged 21.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game, earned All-NBA First Team honors, finished third in NBA MVP voting behind only Karl Malone and Michael Jordan, and led the NBA with 13 triple-doubles. With dual independent photo-matches from MeiGray and Real Game Used (RGU), documented use against Michael Jordan's dynasty Bulls, wear at Madison Square Garden, and ties to one of the greatest individual seasons of Grant Hill's career, this jersey stands as a true centerpiece artifact from one of the defining superstars of the 1990s. Most notably, it remains the only known photo-matched Detroit Pistons-era Grant Hill jersey, placing it among the most important Grant Hill game-worn collectibles ever offered to the hobby.
