Michael Jordan's jersey from the opening game of the 1998 NBA Finals sold for over $10 million at an auction on Thursday (September 15), making it the most expensive piece of game-worn sports memorabilia in history. The previous record was established earlier this year at Sotheby's, with Argentine soccer great Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' jersey fetching a staggering $9.3 million. Jordan's jersey was expected to fetch $3 to $5 million at Sotheby's "INVICTUS" auction and eclipsed the $3.7 million spent in May on Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers jersey worn in his rookie year -- the previous record for a basketball jersey. It was also significantly higher than the record for any item of Jordan sports memorabilia -- the $2.7 million paid for his autographed relic card from 1997-1998. The jersey from the famed 'Last Dance' season -- named after the 2020 ESPN/Netflix documentary chronicling Jordan and Chicago Bulls in their quest to win their sixth NBA championship in eight years -- attracted a total of 20 bids. ........................................................................................
