Jordan single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar. Joining the Chicago Bulls in 1984, he led them to six NBA titles and attained unprecedented awards for himself along the way. From the 1985 NBA Rookie of the Year to five-time NBA MVP to six-time NBA Finals MVP to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team, Jordan has achieved it all. In 1991, Jordan turned in one of the more successful seasons a player can possibly accomplish: NBA champion, regular season MVP, finals MVP, All-NBA First Team, All-Defensive First Team and scoring champion. On the front left tail is the Champion size “46” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions. Adjacent is an additional Champion manufacturer’s tag that reads, “YEAR 1991 ID# BODY LENGTH +3”. On the left inseam is a “100% NYLON” tag. On the upper left chest is the official “NBA” logo embroidered. Above this is the Sheri Berto black armband. Across the front reads, “BULLS” screen printed in red on black. The player number “23” appears below and on the back applied with heat pressed vinyl in red on black. Across the back reads the player name “JORDAN” applied with heat press vinyl in red. Jordan signed the front of the jersey in black marker and in our opinion the signature rates an 8.5. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use. Accompanied by a Full LOA from JSA for the autograph. Sporting apparel manufacturer Mitchell & Ness released a replica of this garment under the title, "The Shrug," recalling the most famous moment featuring Jordan wearing this precise style. After sinking his sixth three-pointer in an offensive onslaught against the Portland Trailblazers, Jordan glanced over at Magic Johnson at the broadcast table and made the gesture leading to one of the best reactions in NBA history. Marv Albert made the call: "Did you see that look? Michael indicating he can't believe it!"
