On Valentine's Day, 1990, Michael Jordan discovered his normal No. 23 jersey was stolen. This forced MJ to wear No. 12. #no12 #12 #nbashorts #nbastories
MJ's jersey was stolen from his locker while he was out at shootaround. The Bulls didn't bring a backup and tried to get a fan's No. 23 jersey, but none fit MJ. So, they used a backup jersey they had, which was the No. 12 jersey.
