In the summer of 1984, the team's fortunes changed when it received the third pick of the NBA draft, after Houston and Portland. The Rockets selected Hakeem Olajuwon, the Blazers selected Sam Bowie, and the Bulls picked shooting guard Michael Jordan out of the University of North Carolina. The team, with new management in owner Jerry Reinsdorf and Jerry Krause in the front office, decided to rebuild around Jordan. Jordan set franchise records during his rookie campaign for scoring (3rd in the league) and steals (4th in the league), and led the Bulls back to the playoffs, for which he was rewarded with a berth on the All-NBA second team and NBA Rookie of the Year Award. Spalding manufactured basketball signed by 14 members of the 1984-85 Bulls team including a rookie Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Orlando Woolridge, Wes Matthews, Quintin Dailey, Rod Higgins, Jawann Oldham and more. The signatures are done in black ink and in our opinion rate a 9. Accompanied by a Full LOA from JSA and a Full PSA/DNA LOA.
