1988 Michael Jordan “Larry’s Game” All-Star Charity Game-Used Uniform

Michael Jordan’s “Larry’s Game” Uniform: A Unique Piece of Basketball History

An Iconic Moment in Charity Basketball

On June 26, 1988, the basketball world witnessed a remarkable event at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana. “Larry’s Game,” a charity basketball game organized by Larry Bird, brought together an all-star lineup of NBA talent to raise college scholarship funds for underprivileged Indiana students. Among the luminaries was none other than Michael Jordan, donning the “Red” team uniform in a game that would become a cherished memory for basketball enthusiasts.

A Uniform with Provenance

This particular basketball memorabilia is not just any uniform; it is a piece that has been conclusively photo-matched by Resolution Photomatching to the one worn by Jordan during “Larry’s Game.” The “White” team, led by Bird, triumphed over Jordan’s “Red” team with a score of 142-120. This inaugural event was repeated annually over the next three summers, but this uniform remains a singular artifact from Jordan’s first MVP season in the NBA.

Michael Jordan’s Stellar 1988 Season

The year 1988 was a landmark season for Michael Jordan. He led the league in several major categories, including field goals (1,069), steals (259), and total points (2,868). These impressive statistics propelled the Chicago Bulls to 50 victories and earned Jordan his first of five MVP Awards. This uniform, worn during a pivotal moment in his career, is a testament to his extraordinary achievements.
