Johnny Kilroy ?

[tagged]

Can somebody fill me in on the story behind the Johnny Kilroy card please.
Was he a real person ?
Was it during a real NBA game ?
Does anyone here on the card ?
If so, does it look like Jordan ?

Johny Kilroy is michael jordan. Apparently, Jordan attended a bulls training session (in uniform) and UD was there to get photo's.

It's not a basketball card collection unless you have a Johnny Kilroy and a card of MJ wearing the number 12 jersey....

Well this thread is confusing me lol...... Kilroy is #4, but people are also bringing up #12 haha

Oh I forgot about that! It was against the magic if I remember correctly? These days at the game you can have custom jerseys made and come back at half time to get them, no doubt if this happened Now they would have another jersey for him within minutes! Are there any cards out there with him wearing the 12? That would be fun to track down!

Lol just to clarify for everyone Kilroy number 4 was a marketing ploy were as Jordan wearing 12 happened once as someone robbed the locker room!

The card that features Jordan in #12 is actually a 90/91 Hoops card of Sam Vincent. (#223)
