Michael Jordan Jersey From 1998 NBA Finals Fetches Record Price

Even decades after he announced his retirement from the NBA, Michael Jordan broke another record on Thursday.

The NBA legend’s The Last Dance jersey from the 1998 NBA finals sold for $10.1 million at the auction house Sotheby’s.

With this price, Jordan’s Bulls jersey set the record for the most money spent on a basketball jersey, any game-worn sports memorabilia and a Jordan item sold at any auction. The previous record holder for sports memorabilia was a Diego Maradona “Hand of God” jersey from the 1986 World Cup that was bought for $9.
