From the All Star Vinyl series I worked on for Upper Deck, Mark Irwin Art Directed. One of the first of a series of NBA figs we worked on, far back enough that this one kinda makes me cringe. What we heard eventually was that Jordan didn't want cartoon likenesses done of him as policy, though that didn't stop folks from making another valiant effort [link] Who knows what the deal was. Can't claim to have much feel for Jordan, would've rather worked on Mars Blackmon [link]
