Michael Jordan's 1998 NBA Finals jersey, worn during his final championship season with the Chicago Bulls, is expected to fetch over $10 million at auction. This item represents a significant piece of sports memorabilia, linked to a pivotal moment in basketball history.
- The jersey is from Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals, a series often referred to as "The Last Dance" due to Jordan's impending departure from the Bulls. This particular game saw Jordan score 43 points, leading the Bulls to victory.
- The item's historical significance is amplified by the fact that it is one of only a few known jerseys Jordan wore throughout that championship-winning season that have come to market. The auction is anticipated to set a new record for any piece of sports memorabilia.
- The jersey is being presented by Sotheby's, with bidding set to open on September 6th. Its expected sale price reflects not only its rarity but also Jordan's iconic status as a global sports figure. The garment is described as being in excellent condition, a testament to its preserved historical value.
