Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar established quite a reputation during his incredible 20-year NBA career. However, his legacy grew to even greater heights on Sunday, which says a lot given his 7-foot frame.
According to ESPN, much of Abdul-Jabbar’s noteworthy NBA memorabilia was put up for auction via Goldin Auctions. The lots that accrued the most amount of money were four of his six championship rings.
Via the same report, Kareem’s merchandise sold for a whopping grand total. All in all, $2,947,872.25 was yielded at the auction.
What makes the auction particularly unique, though, was that Kareem was not looking out for his own immediate gain.
