Beautiful game worn Rookie Shaquille O'Neal 1992-93 Orlando Magic #32 black road pinstripe jersey. Shaq was the first pick overall in the 1992 NBA draft. He averaged 23.4 points and 13.9 rebounds to capture Rookie of the Year honors and lead the Magic to a 20 game improvement over the previous season and a tie breaker away from making the play-offs. Pair of tags stitched into the lower right tail. One to the right is a Champion size 52 tag. On the left is the Orlando Magic exclusivity tag noting the extra 4" in body length and stating "1992-93 Designed and Tailored Exclusively for Orlando Magic". Upon examination the jersey is "technically perfect on all the following counts - Jersey Body, Neck and arm trim, Gussets, Arm yoke, Tagging (exterior and interior), Uniquely fonted lettering and numerals, Name on back, Name on back positioning, and Stitching". The jersey exhibits minimal wear, which is not abnormal for a Shaq O'Neal jersey of this period as "it was not uncommon for Shaq to wear a jersey per home stand or road trip".
