After Michael Jordan capped his Chicago Bulls career with The Last Shot, there was nothing left to do but say goodbye. Nike released this simple “Thanks Michael” tee in 1999 to allow fans a wearable salute to the best to ever. MJ’s primary accolades – 6 NBA titles, 5 NBA MVP awards, 10 NBA scoring titles – are listed but as the shirt indicates, his inspiration of millions of fans may be his greatest accomplishment.
