A Michael Jordan jersey worn during Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals has sold for $14 million, setting a record price for basketball memorabilia, according to NBA.com.
The sale was announced Monday, October 12, 2026. The jersey is a photo-matched Chicago Bulls road uniform from the game, which took place during the team's final championship run — a season widely known as "The Last Dance." The auction result was reported by multiple outlets, including The New York Times, Bleacher Report, NBC Sports and PR Newswire.
The $14 million figure marks the highest price ever paid for a piece of basketball memorabilia, according to Bleacher Report. PR Newswire described the item as a photomatched game-worn road jersey from Game 2 of the 1998 Finals.
The 1998 Finals saw Jordan and the Bulls capture their sixth championship in eight years. The season was later the subject of the documentary series "The Last Dance," which renewed public interest in the team's final title run.
The identity of the buyer was not included in the reporting available. Additional details about the auction house or the number of bidders were also not disclosed in the source material.
The sale adds to a growing market for high-value game-worn sports collectibles. What to watch next: whether the $14 million mark holds as a ceiling for basketball memorabilia or is surpassed by another Jordan-era item.
