Introduction to a Legend

Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014, Shaquille O’Neal is celebrated as one of the most dominating big men the NBA has ever witnessed. His rookie season in 1992-93 was nothing short of spectacular, earning him the prestigious title of NBA Rookie of the Year. This jersey, worn during that iconic season, is a testament to his early prowess and enduring legacy in the world of basketball.

Jersey Details and Significance

The jersey is a remarkable artifact from O’Neal’s rookie year with the Orlando Magic. On the front left tail, it features the “Champion” manufacturer’s tag with size “52” and wash instructions. Adjacent to this is another “Champion” tag, reading “1992-93 Designed and Tailored Exclusively for ORLANDO MAGIC” and “BODY LENGTH +3”. A JSA sticker with serial number “X30537” is affixed to the tag, adding to its authenticity.

• Material: 100% Polyester
• Design: The official “NBA” logo is embroidered on the left chest, while “Magic” is sublimated on the front in blue, black, and silver with two stars in silver sparkle tackle twill.
• Player Details: The number “32” is prominently displayed in black on blue tackle twill, with “O’NEAL” across the back in blue tackle twill.

Signature and Provenance

Adding to the jersey’s allure, Shaquille O’Neal has signed the front in black marker, inscribing his iconic “#32”.
