The 1997-98 NBA season was a landmark one for Hall of Famer Michael Jordan as he played his final season with the Chicago Bulls and capped off his Windy City career by leading the Bulls to a 62-20 regular season record and their sixth NBA Title in eight years. Jordan’s final season in Chicago saw him lead the league in scoring with a 28.7 points per game average and also earning the NBA Finals MVP.
Offered is this size 50 (LENGTH +4) Nike black mesh Chicago Bulls road jersey worn by Jordan during the 1997-98 season. This jersey has the Nike tag, surrounded by a NBA Authentics tag on left and a Chicago Bulls logo tag on the right on the bottom front left tail. “BULLS” and “23” are sewn on front in red, black and white tackle twill while “JORDAN” is sewn directly to jersey on the back along with his number 23 in the same red, black and white color scheme. The NBA logo is embroidered on the upper left shoulder and the open arms and neck are ribbed with a red, black and white red pattern. Adding to this impressive jersey is the black marker signature of Jordan, who signed his name diagonally on the “2” of his “23” in black marker on the back of the jersey.
This jersey comes with full LOAs from the Chicago Bulls and The MeiGray Group (152362), who have photo matched this jersey to the November 7, 1997 game at the Georgia Dome against the Atlanta Hawks, an Upper Deck Authenticated hologram (BAM00015) for Jordan’s signature and a photo match from Resolution Photomatching.
