A unique situation from 2007 is going viral on social media after NBA fans dubbed the Oklahoma City Hornets Valentine’s Day jersey as the rarest jersey in NBA history.
The bright red jerseys with the words "Oklahoma City" across the front were a thank-you from the New Orleans Hornets. Oklahoma City hosted the franchise at the Ford Center, now Paycom, for two seasons while New Orleans recovered from Hurricane Katrina.
Between Feb. 15 and March 1, 2007, the New Orleans Hornets auctioned off player-worn and autographed jerseys and raised $22,000 for the American Heart Association and Hornets Charities.
