The red Chicago Bulls jersey worn by Michael Jordan in the 1998 NBA Finals (for fans “The Last Dance”) it sold for $ 10.1 million
The shirt sold for more than double its highest estimate from Sotheby’s. The house claims this is “the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia sold at auction and of any Michael Jordan item”
The previous record for a Jordan heirloom was $ 2.7 million for a 1997-98 season autograph card and the previous record for a basketball jersey was for the 1996-97 Kobe Bryant one worn in-game, which sold for $ 3.7 million.
Jordan’s shirt also surpassed the $ 9.3 million sale of Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” shirt, also sold at Sotheby’s in May.
