Description: 1996 Michael Jordan auto. professional model All-Star Game jersey. 1995-1996 marked the "unretirement" of Michael Jordan. He returned to lead the Bulls in one of the most remarkable years ever posted by any club and player. Jordan led the NBA with 30.4 points, winning a record eighth scoring championship, one more than Wilt. The Bulls won a record 72 victories during the regular season and rolled easily through the playoffs with a 15-3 record. Chicago's combined record of 87-13 for the 1995-96 regular season and playoffs was the best in NBA history. Jordan captured the MVP awards for the regular season, All-Star Game and Finals, joining Willis Reed (1970) as the only two players to win all three honors in the same season. This jersey was issued for Jordan's tenth All-Star game, his first out of retirement, held at the Alamodome in San Antonio. He scored 20 points in 22 minutes and fed Shaquille OÆNeal with several assists and won his second, and final All-Star MVP. Jersey retains its Champion tag (size 46) on the front tail along with the Champion Exclusive tag made for the 1996 NBA All Star Weekend. Interior tagging includes 3ö extra body length flag tag. Jordan has signed the front in black sharpie under the direction of UDA representatives. Though the jersey shows light wear, there is no definitive documentation that it was worn by Jordan during All-Star competition. Includes additional LOA from JSA (auto.) and Hunt Auctions.
