Michael Jordan 1982 UNC Photo$229.00
|
Before his amazing professional career with the Bulls, Michael Jordan played his college ball at the University of North Carolina. His first season at UNC (1981-82), Jordan earned a spot as a Tar Heel starter, only the fourth freshman ever to do so under Coach Dean Smith. Jordan spent most of his freshman season in a supporting role, as the UNC offense revolved around forwards James Worthy and Sam Perkins, two future NBA stars. However, during the 1982 NCAA Championship Game against Georgetown University, Jordan earned his first real taste of fame by making the winning jump shot to seal a 63-62 Tar Heels victory and the national title. Jordan played two more seasons with the Tar Heels before declaring himself eligible for the NBA draft. He was selected college player of the year in 1983-1984 and in '84 he led the United States basketball team to a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Then came his years with the Bulls... Remember the shot that started it all for Michael with this very cool collectible. This unsigned 16x20 photograph shows Michael's game winning shot with 17 seconds on the clock (check out Patrick Ewing of the Hoyas positioning himself for the rebound that isn't coming!). A Sports Gallery Exclusive presentation and quality framed in thick black wood with descriptive plaque, this is a timeless piece of Sports Art celebrating the all-time best in the sport of basketball.

The modern gentleman notices the little things, and there is plenty to notice about our Signature Gift Wrap. The paper is a custom-printed navy beaded pinstripe pattern evocative of a classic men's suit fabric. The white satin ribbon is tied in a square knot. But we think it's the enclosure card sealed with hot wax that shows we put as much care into the gift presentation as you put into its selection.
