Michael Jordan Jersey Sets $14 Million Record for Basketball Memorabilia, Auction House Says
The private sale tops the previous basketball record by $1.74 million, and it is the third Jordan Finals jersey to clear $10 million.
- On Monday, Pennsylvania-based Hunt Auctions announced a game-worn Michael Jordan road jersey from the NBA Finals privately sold for $14 million, marking the highest price ever paid for basketball memorabilia.
- Jordan wore this red jersey during Game 2 of the NBA Finals on June 5, 1998, when the Chicago Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City to even the series.
- The $14 million price is the second-highest for a game-worn jersey, trailing the $24.12 million paid in 2024 for the Babe Ruth "called shot" jersey from the 1932 World Series at Wrigley Field.
- Miami real estate investor Ron Firman purchased the jersey; David Hunt of Hunt Auctions said it "has remained within a succinct chain of custody having only changed hands once from the original purchaser."
- Massive collector interest in Jordan's final season with the Bulls, captured in the "Last Dance" documentary, has driven multiple finals jerseys to fetch at least $10 million in recent years.
