Michael Jordan is at the centre of several amusing NBA conspiracies, from the real cause of his sickness in the NBA Finals "Flu Game" to his shock first retirement. One of the lesser-known tales early in the Chicago Bulls legend's career involved a missing kit.
On Feb. 14, 1990, Jordan's game jersey disappeared before a contest in Orlando against the Magic. Ultimately, he needed to wear a nameless number 12 shirt (he usually wore 23) because team personnel could not track it down.
Chicago staff have since accused the Magic of stealing the jersey to frustrate MJ. The Bulls lost in overtime despite a furious Jordan scoring 49 points on a whopping 43 shot attempts.
