Simply put, Karl Malone is one of the best ever to set foot on the hardwood. Selected as one of the NBA top 50 players of all time he surely has the numbers to back it up. In a career that has spanned over 15 years he has averaged 25 points per game and in 2000 became just the third player in history to pass the 30,000 point mark. The offered uniform was used by "The Mailman" during the 1997-98 NBA Finals. Malone put on a good show in the finals averaging 27.5 points per game. On the left front tail is the "Champion" label with the size "42." Next to this is the "Champion" label with the year "1997-98" and "Body Length +4." Across the front of the jersey is the name "Jazz" in purple/blue/white tackle twill and on the back is the player name "Malone" in white tackle twill. The player number "32" appears on both the front and back of the jersey in white/salmon/green tackle twill. On the upper left front is the "NBA" patch and on the upper right front is the "NBA Finals" patch. In the waistband of the shorts is the "Champion" label with the size "46." Next to this is the "Champion" exclusive label with "Rise +2 Inseam +3." The player number "32" is written on this label in black magic marker. On the lower right front of the shorts is the "NBA" patch and next to this are the letters "UJ" in purple/white/brown embroidered stitch. The jersey and shorts show game use and appear to have no alterations of any kind. The uniform comes with an additional letter of authenticity from the Utah Jazz equipment manager on team stationery.
