The 11"x14" print was developed directly from the original negative. The picture is stamped with the photographer's name on the back. It also comes with a letter of authenticity. 

Announcer Marv Albert called it "a spectacular move" after Jordan drove into the lane, went up with the ball in his right hand, and switched it to his left hand, kissing the ball off the glass for his 13th consecutive field goal against the Lakers.
