A Bulls jersey and shorts worn by Michael Jordan for the season before he retired the first time sold for $2.6 million at auction over the weekend, according to auction house Heritage Auctions.
The jersey and shorts were said to have been photo-matched to 17 games from the 1992-93 season — in which Jordan and the Bulls completed the first three-peat — as well as the Oct. 18, 1993, cover of Sports Illustrated that featured a picture of His Airness from a January 1993 game that the Bulls lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
According to the auction house, the jersey and shorts have “monumental game wear far exceeding any Jordan” memorabilia it had previously sold — something that’s more common in earlier jerseys, as he swapped out jerseys more often after his return to the NBA.
