A Michael Jordan jersey from his ‘Last Dance’ season has sold for $12.3m (\u00a39.3m), a record for a piece of Jordan memorabilia.<\/p>\n

The jersey was worn in game three of the 1998 NBA Finals in his last season with the Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n

Jordan helped the Bulls win the series 4-2 for his sixth and final NBA Championship. He was named Finals’ Most Valuable Player in all six.<\/p>\n

The previous record for a piece of Jordan memorabilia was $10.1m (\u00a37.6m) for his jersey from game one<\/a> of the 1998 Finals.<\/p>\n

The jersey was put up for sale by entrepreneur Ryan Gough and sold at Joopiter, Pharrell Williams’ digital auction house, which gave it an estimated price of $10-15m (\u00a37.5-\u00a311.3m).<\/p>\n

Jordan’s 1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello was sold for $2.7m (\u00a32m), four times the auction record for that model.<\/p>\n

“Few objects in the history of sport embody greatness as completely as Michael Jordan’s game three jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals,” Joopiter said in the auction posting.<\/p>\n

“Worn during the Last Dance… it marks the culmination of an era that transformed basketball into a global cultural phenomenon.<\/p>\n

“Today it stands among the most important game-worn sports artifacts ever to come to market.”<\/p>\n

The record price for a piece of game-worn sports memorabilia is the jersey worn by baseball legend Babe Ruth when he “called the shot” during the 1932 World Series, which was sold for $24.1m (\u00a318.2m)<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Michael Jordan jersey from his ‘Last Dance’ season has sold for $12.3m (\u00a39.3m), a record for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":866804,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[355,99],"class_list":["post-866803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=866803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/866804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=866803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=866803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=866803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
