Michael Jordan 1998 NBA Finals jersey heading to auction

A white Chicago Bulls jersey worn by Michael Jordan during Game 3 of the 1998 NBA Finals is set to go to auction through Joopiter, an auction house founded by Pharrell Williams. The auction, titled ‘Driven to Greatness’, is scheduled to begin on September 15.

The jersey is highly significant as it was worn during the ‘Last Dance’ season, Jordan’s final championship campaign with the Bulls. In that specific game, the Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz 96-54, a victory that established the largest winning margin in NBA Finals history. Jordan recorded 24 points during the match.

Estimates for the jersey range between $10 million and $15 million, though some predictions suggest it could exceed $24 million, potentially breaking the record held by a Babe Ruth jersey. The item has been authenticated by MeiGray, which verified its history through detailed examination of the mesh and official patches.
