The hand-signed signature by Michael Jordan is a flawless 10/10, making this piece not only a beautiful collectible but also a coveted item for any serious fan of the NBA legend.

Michael Jordan’s #45 jersey holds a special place in his career. After his first retirement from the NBA in 1993 to pursue a brief career in baseball, Jordan made his highly anticipated return to the basketball court in March 1995, but instead of his iconic #23, he donned the #45. This number was significant to Jordan because it was the number he wore during his high school baseball days and while playing for the Birmingham Barons. Jordan famously said that he didn't want to return to the court with #23 because his father wasn’t there to see him play.

Jordan's time in the #45 jersey was short but historic. After a loss to the Orlando Magic in the 1995 playoffs, Jordan famously switched back to #23, reclaiming his dominance on the court and leading the Bulls to a second three-peat in the NBA Finals (1996-1998). Though his time in the #45 jersey was brief, it represented a unique chapter in Jordan's career, embodying his resilience, competitive spirit, and drive to conquer new challenges.

This jersey captures that pivotal moment in sports history, where Jordan's return to the game rekindled the hopes of Chicago Bulls fans worldwide. It is a timeless reminder of Jordan’s unparalleled influence on the game of basketball and his ability to elevate the sport to new heights. Jordan’s signature on this #45 jersey is a true collector’s item, as it immortalizes the rare moment when the greatest player in basketball history wore a different number.
