A game-worn Michael Jordan from the 1998 NBA Finals sold for over $10 million, becoming the most expensive jersey in sports memorabilia history.
The 1997-98 season was an unforgettable one for Jordan and the Bulls. MJ won his fifth league MVP award and led the Bulls to their sixth championship in eight years in his final season with the franchise.
Game 1 of the 1998 was not one of the high points from that season, however. Jordan logged over 45 minutes and scored 33 points, but the Utah Jazz jumped out to a 1-0 series lead with an 88-85 overtime win. Chicago bounced back to win the series, capping things off in Game 6 behind a 45-point outing from Jordan.
“The season itself is his ‘magnum opus’ as an athlete, and a testament to him as a champion and competitor,” Brahm Wachter, Sotheby’s head of streetwear and modern collectables, said in a statement, via . “Finals jerseys from Jordan are remarkably scant and the [1998] Finals are arguably the most coveted of them all.”
