Michael Jordan stands as the greatest player to ever step on the hardwood, revolutionizing the way in which the game is now played and viewed. Jordan’s tongue hanging dunks, buzzard beating jump shots and crossover dribble are still imitated by kids all over the world, creating hoop dreams.
Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles, winning the final three after coming out of a short lived retirement. Throughout his career, Jordan amassed 5 MVP Awards, won 10 scoring titles and was the key figure on the 1992 Olympic Dream Team. His career achievements are chiseled on a plaque outside of the United Center in Chicago.
This black cotton twill Starter cap commemorates the Chicago Bulls sixth Championship title. The back of the hat consists of an adjustable velcro strap. Across the velcro is NBA Champs, which is embroidered in white thread. The Starter signature logo rests at the top of the back, with both the NBA logo and the 1998 Finals logo directly embroidered on the back bottom sides. The front crown depicts the Bulls logo encircled by a royal and scarlet embroidered sphere, listing each of their six titles. Above the front logo rests NBA Champions, with a depiction of the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Twelve racing stripe style marks run through the embroidered word mark to the back of the hat. This hat was presented to the Bulls after they defeated the Utah Jazz in six games.
From the University of North Carolina…at guard...#23... Michael Jordan, will forever be remembered as His Airness is enshrined within the hallowed grounds of the birthplace of basketball.
