1988 Michael Jordan Free Throw Line Slam Dunk Competition Original Photograph, PSA/DNA Type 1. In 1988, Michael Jordan famously executed a free throw line dunk during the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Taking off from the foul line, Jordan soared through the air, legs extended and tongue out, embodying his Air Jordan persona. His right arm stretched behind his head as he gracefully dunked the ball, earning perfect scores from the judges. This iconic moment, showcasing his extraordinary athleticism and hang time, cemented his legacy as one of the greatest dunkers. The dunk not only won him the contest but also became a defining image of his career and a symbol of basketball excellence.

A wider shot of the GOAT soaring toward his Slam Dunk Contest-winning masterpiece stands as one of the most famous ever taken of Jordan, captured a fraction of a second after his Airness took flight for his most famous basket recorded outside regular or postseason competition. The artful black and white image showcases the lean muscularity of the sport's most celebrated figure, his trademark exposed tongue letting us know he means business. Photo measures 8x10" in size and presents flawlessly. "Nat Butler Bernstein Assoc. Inc." label affixed to verso. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, Type 1. LOA from PSA/DNA, Type 1.
