Michael Jordan‘s game-worn jersey from his last NBA Finals win is hitting the auction block — and if you’re interested, you better have deep pockets … ’cause it’s estimated to sell for over 3 million bucks!!
TMZ Sports has learned this Chicago Bulls gear is from Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals — also known as MJ’s iconic “Last Dance” season.
MJ wore the red jersey when he banked 33 points against the Utah Jazz — and even though the Bulls lost, they ultimately won the series, 4-2 — Jordan’s 6th NBA championship.
Sotheby’s Auction says this rare piece is one of the most coveted items for collectors.
“Jordan’s 1998 NBA Finals Game 1 jersey is among the most highly desired pieces of sports memorabilia,” Sotheby’s said in a statement, “and the present example is one of just two Finals jerseys to ever appear at auction, from any of his six championships.”
And, come September 6, you’ll get your chance to place your bid. The auction house estimates the jersey will sell for around $3 million.
Sotheby’s says that’s the highest appraisal for His Airness’ jersey, but when it comes to the G.O.A.T., a Finals jersey doesn’t come cheap.
Happy bidding!
