Hakeem Olajuwon’s 1995 NBA Finals Jersey: A Legendary Relic

A Testament to Greatness

In the annals of basketball history, few players have left as indelible a mark as Hakeem Olajuwon. His performance during the 1995 NBA Finals against the Orlando Magic was nothing short of legendary, earning him his second consecutive NBA Finals MVP award. Averaging an astounding 32.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game, Olajuwon led the Houston Rockets to a championship victory, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest centers in the history of the sport.

The Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History

This remarkable jersey, worn by Olajuwon during that iconic series, is a testament to his prowess on the court. The front left tail of the jersey features the Champion manufacturer’s tag, size “48”, complete with washing instructions. Adjacent to it is an additional Champion tag that reads, “DESIGNED & TAILORED 94-95 EXCLUSIVELY FOR HOUSTON ROCKETS BODY LENGTH +4”. The left inseam bears a flag tag reading, “100% POLYESTER”. On the upper left chest, the official “NBA” logo is embroidered, symbolizing the league’s highest standards.

• Team Pride: Across the chest, the jersey proudly displays “ROCKETS”.
• Player Identity: The number “34” is prominently featured on both the front and back, with “OLAJUWON” emblazoned across the back.
• Craftsmanship: All numbering and lettering are executed in red tackle twill, sewn directly into the white mesh fabric.

A Signature of Excellence
