Related Topics: Item

Former University of North Carolina Tar Heels and Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan has been in the news a lot lately.

He’s part of an ownership group trying to acquire the Miami Marlins with Derek Jeter as the ring leader. He’s also had several game-worn items auctioned off at record prices recently.

Now he’s in the news again for another auction that is pretty damn cool.

Former Gatorade executive Bill Schmidt has a collection of rare Jordan items that he’s collected over the years.

Schmidt was a key piece in the iconic “Be Like Mike” commercial from Gatorade that hit the air in 1991.
