The reverse tells the full story: On February 14, 1990, Jordan's #23 jersey was stolen before the game vs. the Orlando Magic. Forced to wear #12, he went on to score 49 points — the only game in his career he wore a number other than 23.
A must-have for Jordan collectors and Bulls historians alike. Authenticity and provenance as shown.
🏀 Fun Fact: Jordan's #12 jersey from that February 14, 1990 game was never recovered. Because a replacement #23 jersey wasn't available, the Bulls asked Jordan to wear a nameless, numberless jersey — he refused and played 43 minutes in the borrowed #12, scoring 49 points. No other game-worn #12 Jordan jersey is known to exist from his Bulls tenure.
