The great Michael Jordan is handsomely portrayed here in an original painting by Yuri Liaboh, whose work is well known within the sports and memorabilia worlds. It is a remarkably vivid depiction of the Bulls great, clearly showing the unmatched intensity that helped to mark Jordan as one of the most tenacious competitors in the history of the NBA. The painting covers an entire panel of the Wilson Official Jet basketball, with all elements in essentially Nr-Mt and problem-free condition. The artist has signed the original work at the edge of the panel, adding the date, 1994. It is a compelling portrayal that perfectly captures the essence of the legendary NBA giant. Comes in a handsome wood stand of approximately 11 ½-by-12 ½ inches, topped by an acrylic “box” 10 ½ inches square that protects the basketball (display not guaranteed to make it through shipping).
