Mike basketball player Michael Jordan went under the hammer for a huge sum

The game jersey of Michael Jordan, a six-time National Basketball Association winner, sold at auction for $14 million. That's a record amount for basketball artifacts. This is reported by the Associated Press.

In this jersey, Jordan took to the parquet in the second match of the 1998 final series against Utah. Then Chicago won with a score of 93:88, and the basketball player scored 37 points. His team subsequently won the series 4-2. The buyer got a T-shirt with an American autograph.

The $14 million was a record for basketball-related items. In addition, this jersey took the second place in value among all sold sports artifacts in history. The championship is held by jersey American baseball player Babe Ruth - in 2024 it was purchased for $ 24.12 million.

Jordan is 63. He spent most of his career with Chicago (1984-1993, 1995-1998), but his last team was Washington (2001-2003). The American was named the best player of the final series six times and the most valuable basketball player of the regular NBA championship five times. As part of the US national team, he became Olympic champion twice - in 1984 and 1992.
