NBA legend Michael Jordan’s jersey from Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals sold for £8.8 million at auction to come the most expensive piece of game-worn sports memorabilia in history.
Jordan’s iconic Chicago Bulls jersey - with his famous no.23 emblazoned across it - was from his sixth and final NBA championship run. The Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz 4-2 in the Finals, but the Jazz took Game 1 with a 88-85 win.
It proved to be Jordan’s final season with the Bulls and the jersey has been put up for sale with Sotheby’s online auction. On Thursday, the jersey sold for a record £8.8m.
