Original 1988 MICHAEL JORDAN WILSON BASKETBALL vintage 8x11 inch print ad.
This is the vintage and original smaller version of the larger size poster that was in local stores that same year used to promote the brand.
The print ad pictures the PLAYGROUND AT TRASK JR. HIGH SCHOOL WHERE MICHAEL JORDAN PLAYED HIS PICKUP GAMES AS A YOUNG TEENAGER, and reads:
"TRASK JR. HIGH, WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA
SITE OF MICHAEL JORDAN'S PICK-UP GAMES.
WHEN HE DIDN'T MAKE THE VARSITY TEAM IN 10TH GRADE, HE DIDN'T QUIT
PLAYING BASKETBALL. IN FACT, HE PLAYED EVEN HARDER. HE KEPT TRYING.
AND HE KEPT GROWING.
THE NEXT YEAR HE DID MAKE THE TEAM. AND WENT ON TO SET THE
SCHOOL SCORING RECORD WHILE HE LED THE BUCCANEERS TO THEIR FIRST
CONFERENCE TITLE AND BEST RECORD EVER.
HIS FIRST WILSON BALL WAS A HAND-ME-DOWN CAZZIE RUSSELL.
TODAY, IT'S HIS VERY OWN MICHAEL JORDAN.
MICHAEL JORDAN HAS ALWAYS HAD A WILL
TO WIN. AND HE'S ALWAYS AHD A WILSON.
BECAUSE SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE, AN
ATHLETE'S COMMITMENT TO THE GAME. AND
WILSON'S COMMITMENT TO YOURS.
WHERE THERE'S A WILL
THERE'S WILSON
