1990 was Jordan's breakout season. Averaging 31.5 points per game, number 23 stunned NBA fans and was the obvious choice for league MVP as the Bulls advanced again to the post season. While the Bulls had come this far many a time, this time Jordan and the reorganized Bulls destroyed the Knicks and Sixers in the first two rounds. Meeting the arch-rival Detroit Pistons, Jordan humiliated the team leading Isaiah Thomas to take his team off the court before the game even ended and retreat into the locker room without shaking hands with their victors. For the first time in franchise history, The Bulls were in the finals and Jordan made the most of it. He earned his nickname Air Jordan during a dunk in game 2 when avoiding a potential block he switched the ball from his right to left hand IN MID-AIR to successfully score. Millions of viewers world-wide watched in disbelief as the legend of MICHAEL JORDAN was born. This outstanding home, white Bulls uniform set was there on the court that penultimate season when the game of basketball was changed forever.
The white mesh jersey has "BULLS" and Jordan's immortal number "23" in red and black appliqué. The NBA logo is on the left chest and the left front tail has the Champion size 44 tagging. The collar and arm openings have the red, white and black striped ribbing. The back features "JORDAN" and that famous number "23" in black and red appliqué. The jersey shows outstanding game use with staining on the white mesh in the armpit and high shoulder areas as well as well as heavier stains from liquid in the body area that appear to be champagne. MEARS has thoroughly examined this unbelievable jersey with a grade of MEARS A8 with two points being deducted for staining. The jersey is signed in black ink on the bask side of the jersey and that signature is accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
