The Mailman finally delivered the 1996-97 season, leading the Jazz to their first NBA Finals along with fellow NBA Top 50 player John Stockton. This game-worn home jersey was used during quite possibly the best season to-date in Utah Jazz history. Across the front is a silk-screened mountain background with highlighted “JAZZ” team name in split blue top on purple tackle twill bottom with white tackle twill outline lettering. Offset below is the player number “32” done in purple tackle twill on white outline on teal border tackle twill. Left front tail has the Utah Jazz team exclusive Champion manufacturer label with “BODY LENGTH +3" and adjacent Champion wash label with jersey Size 50. Inside the left tail is a “100% POLYESTER” material flag tag. Embroidered gold official NBA anniversary logo on the left front strap and player name “MALONE” arched in purple tackle twill letters across the top of the back with player number “32” centered largely below done in purple tackle twill on white outline on teal border tackle twill. Jersey appears to be in superb condition, essentially as-issued and problem-free, with virtually no fraying of any of the stitching on letters or numbers.
