Toni Kukoc’s 1998 Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History
A Memorable Performance
On March 12th, 1998, Toni Kukoc delivered an outstanding performance against the Dallas Mavericks, scoring 22 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and dishing out 6 assists. This remarkable game is immortalized through the jersey he wore, a testament to his skill and contribution to the Chicago Bulls during that era. This jersey is not just a piece of fabric; it is a slice of basketball history, representing a moment when Kukoc shone brightly on the court.
Exquisite Details and Craftsmanship
The jersey is a size “52” Nike masterpiece, featuring a flag tag that reads “LENGTH +4 MADE IN U.S.A.” The left inseam boasts two flag tags: a Nike washing instructions tag and a “1997-98” year tag. The upper left chest is adorned with the official “NBA” logo, embroidered with precision. Across the front, the iconic “BULLS” is emblazoned, with the player number “7” displayed prominently below and on the back. Kukoc’s name graces the back, all crafted in red on black on white tackle twill, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail.
Signatures and Provenance
Toni Kukoc has signed the front of the jersey in black marker, with the signature rating a strong 8 in our opinion. Above this signature is a PSA/DNA sticker with the serial number “E18306.” The shorts, size “44,” also bear Kukoc’s signature in silver marker, rated near 8. Handwritten on the Nike manufacturer’s tag inside the rear waistband is the player number “7.” This uniform, purchased directly from the Bulls, is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows appropriate use.
