Michael Jordan’s 1987-88 Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Greatness

A Season of Unparalleled Achievement

The 1987-88 NBA season was a defining moment in the illustrious career of Michael Jordan. During this remarkable year, Jordan not only dazzled fans with his extraordinary skills but also solidified his status as one of the greatest players in basketball history. Averaging an astounding 35 points per game, Jordan claimed the title of NBA scoring champion. His prowess extended beyond scoring, as he also averaged 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and an impressive 3.2 steals per game. This season marked his first regular season MVP award and his only Defensive Player of the Year accolade, leading the league in steals and contributing 1.6 blocks per game.

The Iconic Jersey

This historic jersey, worn by Jordan during the 1987-88 season, is a piece of basketball memorabilia that captures the essence of his legendary career. The jersey features a “Sand-Knit” manufacturer’s tag, indicating it was “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the CHICAGO BULLS.” Below this, a second “Sand-Knit” size “44” tag is present, along with two white swatches reading “87” and “3”LB”. The right inseam bears a tag with “100% NYLON” and washing instructions. The left chest proudly displays the official “NBA” logo, albeit heavily faded, a testament to the jersey’s extensive use.

Distinctive Features and Condition

• Team and Player Identification: The front of the jersey reads “BULLS” in red with black trim, while the iconic number “23” appears on both the front and back in red on black vinyl lettering.

• Condition: The jersey exhibits significant staining, presumably from sweat, indicative of its game use.
