Michael Jordan's jersey from his iconic 'Last Dance' season has set a new record, selling for $12.3 million (£9.3 million). This jersey, worn during game three of the 1998 NBA Finals, marks a significant moment in sports history as it was part of Jordan's last season with the Chicago Bulls.
Historic Significance
In the 1998 NBA Finals, Jordan led the Bulls to a 4-2 series victory, securing his sixth and final NBA Championship. He was named the Finals' Most Valuable Player in all six championship series he played in.
Auction Details
The jersey was sold by entrepreneur Ryan Gough at Joopiter, a digital auction house owned by Pharrell Williams. The auction house had estimated the jersey's value between $10 million and $15 million (£7.5 million - £11.3 million). The previous record for a piece of Jordan memorabilia was $10.1 million (£7.6 million) for his jersey from game one of the same Finals.
