Michael Jordan ‘Last Dance’ Jersey From 1998 NBA Finals Auctioned Off For Record Breaking $10.1 Million

Last year, one of Michael Jordan’s game-worn jerseys from the 1982-83 championship season at the University of North Carolina sold for the record-breaking sum of $1.38 million.

Then, a Bryant’s rookie jerseys went for $3.69 million a bit later last year. The autographed, yellow game-worn jersey was the highest price ever for a basketball jersey.

That record has now been shattered! But not only has a jersey worn by Michael Jordan in Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals – part of the infamous “Last Dance” season – taken over the record for the highest priced basketball jersey ever, it even took over Diego Maradona’s 1986 ‘Hand of God’ jerey record.

Jordan’s jersey has sold for $10.091 million, which officially is the most ever paid for an item of sports memorabilia. Maradona’s 1986 World Cup jersey previously held the record after it was sold in May for $9.28 million.
