Michael Jordan 'Last Dance' jersey from 1998 NBA Finals sells for record $10.1 million at auction

A jersey worn by Michael Jordan in Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals -- part of the hallowed "Last Dance" season for Jordan that culminated with the Chicago Bulls reigning victorious over the Utah Jazz -- has sold for $10.091 million with auction house Sotheby's.

It is the most ever paid for an item of sports memorabilia, surpassing the $9.28 million paid in May for late soccer legend Diego Maradona's "Hand of God" jersey from the 1986 World Cup.

The "Last Dance" jersey marked Jordan's sixth and final NBA championship -- and his record sixth NBA Finals MVP award -- before he retired for the second time.
