I'm going to say forgery. I'm no expert on Jordan, but here are my concerns (assuming authenticating autographs can be done scientifically):
1) M on authentic Jordan signatures would typically have a higher peak on the first "hump" in the letter (the top of the "2" formation). Also, the formation looks huge relative to the rest of the M.
2) Third downstroke on M, converging into the figure-8 looks short, and the 8 itself doesn't look right.
3) The J looks slowly drawn.
Yes, it looks like the UDA style, but I would say probably not genuine.
I think you are wrong, Dane. Obviously, at this stage it's all about opinion. But below see the autograph in question compared to an authentic UDA Jordan autograph. I think it should speak for itself. Michael is pretty spot on...Jordan is a bit diff, but i've seen other UDA with similar characteristics...I'm no Jordan expert either, but I think it's good...
Carlos, I would still disagree with your opinion that I'm "100% wrong" on this one. The "M" is inconsistent on the spacing. Compare this to the bottom signature, where the gaps in the M are consistently spaced. Then you have the issue with the final hump sides not being parallel to the first hump. Additionally, if you look at the bottom of the first and second stems in the second M, they are fairly in line with the "ichael" part of the name, by contrast, the signature in question form two separate baselines. It's possible that the top signature was a *maybe* a rushed in person, but I don't think that's the case. There are far too many independent issues with the signature to be able to say with 100% certainty that it's authentic. In fact, accounting for the multiple issues, I would be willing to say with 96% certainty that the top signature is a forgery. Carlos, this is the second signature that you've said is legitimate, which I'm positive isn't. If you really believe it's real, I again invite you to contact the owner of rareair23.com -- the generally accepted expert in Jordan signatures and memorabilia.
