Michael Jordan Signed 69-Point Official Scorekeepers Sheet [Career High Points]

Private American Collection

On March 28th, 1990 at Richfield Coliseum in Ohio, Michael Jordan turned in one of the greatest scoring performances in NBA history against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In a dazzling display of offensive brilliance, Jordan’s 69-point outburst would go on to stand as the highest total of his legendary career. 

Sotheby’s is pleased to present the Official Scorekeeper’s Sheet, signed by Michael Jordan, from this exceptional game.

From the opening tip it was clear that this was not just a typical regular season matchup between the Chicago Bulls and the Cavaliers. Jordan’s remarkable 62% mark from the field on 23-of-37 shooting, wasn’t the only thing that defined his historic night. His near-perfect 21-of-23 free throw shooting was a testament to his unyielding focus and consistency. With each trip to the line, Jordan calmly added to his ballooning point total.

The Cavaliers, tasked with the unenviable challenge of containing a player operating at the peak of his powers, threw everything in their defensive arsenal at Jordan. Double teams, physicality, and strategic adjustments—ultimately rendered futile as Jordan would lead the Bulls to a 117-113 win in overtime. 

What made this performance even more breathtaking was the manner in which Jordan scored. It wasn't just the sheer volume of points; it was the artistry, the finesse, and the versatility of ways Jordan put the ball in the basket. Fadeaway jumpers, acrobatic drives, mid-range daggers—the full repertoire of Jordan's offensive arsenal was on display that night. 

Jordan’s night would end with the eye-popping stat line of 69 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. But beyond the numbers and the win, the story of the game was clear, as it would be for most of his career. The night belonged to one man: Michael Jordan.
