Featured here is Jimmy Butler’s Chicago Bulls game-worn and autographed alternate jersey from March 30 2017 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Bulls won a hard-fought game over the defending champs 99-93 at the United Center in Chicago thanks in large part to Butler’s 25 points six boards and five dimes. The 2014-15 Most Improved Player has made the East All-Star squad three straight years and continues to step up his game each season. After helping the U.S. Men’s Basketball team take home another Olympic gold medal this past summer in Rio the 6’ 7” Butler had his best NBA season to date in 2016-17 as he established career highs in points (23.9) rebounds (6.2) assists (5.5) and steals (1.9) for the 41-41 Bulls who fell to the #1 seeded Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. The jersey is photo-matched by the experts at Resolution Photomatching and comes directly from an anonymous but very reliable NBA source who attests to Butler signing it in person after the game.
The gray short-sleeved mesh jersey has “BULLS” on the front in red tackle twill outlined in white with “BUTLER” on the back in red-on-white tackle twill letters. His No. “21” appears on the front and back in red outlined in white. A commemorative “KRAUSE” patch is sewn on the upper left chest in honor of the late Jerry Krause who served as General Manager during the team’s glory Jordan years in the 1990’s. The embroidered NBA logo patch is sewn on the upper back. Shirt has appropriate “Adidas Size 3XL” tagging with a "Length +2" flap tag on the front left tail. The adjacent NBA Authentication tag is coded "CBU02845." A special “CHICAGO BASKETBALL” white patch is sewn upside down on the end of the left front shirttail. Inside the left inseam are the washing instructions and "06/15" manufacturing date tag. Butler has signed the back number ‘2’ in 8-9/10 black marker. The collar sports white and red elastic trim with a gold "6X" NBA Champions patch sewn on celebrating the franchise's six titles in the 90’s. The shirt exhibits outstanding wear was not laundered after the game; in fact it still carries a strong odor of Butler’s perspiration. Can't get more authentic than that!
Includes LOA from Resolution Photomatching (425151) with a conclusive side-by-side photo-match (Getty 664608264) from the 3/30/17 game. Autograph pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
