1998 Upper Deck SP Authentic Michael Jordan #23

Born February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York, Michael Jordan stands 6'6" and played his college ball at North Carolina. His career stats line across the back of this card tells the full story of greatness — from his 1984-85 rookie season with the Bulls averaging 28.2 points, to back-to-back scoring explosions of 37.1 and 35.0, through three-peats and a brief retirement, then a spectacular return averaging over 30 points per game in the Bulls' championship runs of 1995-96, 1996-97. His 12-year NBA totals read like no other: nearly 30,000 career points at a 31.5 points-per-game average, with over 5,000 rebounds, 4,700 assists, 2,100 steals, and 700 blocks. The back is classic Upper Deck SP Authentic with a warm candid photo of Jordan laughing — a rare glimpse of the man behind the legend.
