[quote]His Airness donned No. 12 when his more famous jersey was stolen before a Feb. 14, 1990, game at Orlando. Sam Vincent happily allowed MJ to borrow his threads for one game. Michael Jordan wore No. 12 in this 1990 Valentine

yep

[Batz]

so...

I wonder what became of that jersey and how much it'd sell for at an auction?

That 1st picture really looks good for a 1990 picture. Makes you wonder how the old game would look shot with today's camera. (I bet less teenagers would say that the players were less athletic, or shorter when the opposite was true. Longer shorts would help a lot also.)

What I find interesting is that MJ12 is like this big and famous government thing, so it always makes me think about that. I mean, it would make sense if Jordan had another jersey with the number 23, but why in the world would he have a jersey with a number 12. Well, I'm not into conspiracies.

Edit: I just read that it was borrowed, and doesn't even have the Jordan name in the back. Never mind.

Great Post ! This is how Video Games in the 90's should have dealt with his absence , giving the player # 12 .

Interesting. So he wore 12, 23, and 45.

Imagine Chamberlain vs. Russell in high definition.

This picture looks like a generic classroom motivational poster where a company doesn't have a players' rights so they have to blank out the name on the back and perhaps alter the number.

I always wanted this card as a kid because it had the twelve'd Jordan:


My brother and I always thought that card would be worth a ton, and I think it was about five times more expensive than a usual Sam Vincent. But that just meant it was worth 50 cents.

5+1=6
2*3=6
4+2=6

Just saying.

Of course, Wilt would be slammed for being the greatest Stat Padder of All time (on these boards at least), and Russell would be considered an Overrated version of Scottie Pippen. Probably better they played in a less cynical (although still racist) Era.

Oh, the threads Wilt's achievements ALONE would create.
