After earning every individual accolade in existence, Malone left the Jazz (folowing the retrement of his running mate John Stokton) and headed to L.A. to capture the one award that eluded him his entire career...a championship ring. Unforunatley for the Mailman, it was the Pistons who delivered the final blow in 2004, and shortly after he retired. Offered is one of the last jerseys he would ever suit up in during his final season. The purple "road" gamer is sewn with "Lakers" in gold-on-white tackle twill and above his very unfamiliar number "11" on front, while on back "Malone" arches above another "11". The garment displays the light but evident use associated with modern jerseys and includes the following taggig on the tail: "Nike [size] 52" manufacturer's tag, "Lakers " team tag, "NBA Authentics" tag, and "+4" Length" flag tag.
