For the third time in history, one of Michael Jordan's jerseys from the 1998 NBA Finals sold for more than $10 million. Jersey from the second game of the series “Chicago Bulls” and “Utah Jazz” with Jordan’s autograph was sold for a record for basketball paraphernalia $14 million. This is reported by the Associated Press with reference to Hunt Auctions.
The red jersey, in which Jordan helped Chicago equalize the score in the series (1-1), was bought by Miami businessman Ron Firman, who invests in real estate.
