1997 Topps Finest Finishers Michael Jordan #39

Under the "Finishing Touch" header on the card back, this insert recounts one of MJ's legendary regular-season performances: Jordan scored 51 of his team's 88 points in a one-point victory over the Knicks on January 21, 1997. He tallied all but two of the Bulls' points in the fourth quarter, including two critical jumpers in the final 1:07. The back also lists his bio — 6'6", 198 lbs., out of North Carolina, drafted by the Bulls in the 1st Round (3rd Overall) in 1984. His 1996–97 season line reads 82 games, 2,431 points, and a 29.6 average, capping a career mark of 31.7 PPG across 848 games. The card still has its Topps Finest protective coating intact on the front.
