Michael Jordan NBA Finals jersey sells for record $14 million

A jersey worn by Michael Jordan during Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals has sold for a record $14 million in a private treaty sale facilitated by Hunt Auctions. The purchaser was identified as Florida-based real estate investor Ron Firman. This transaction represents the highest price ever paid for basketball memorabilia and the second-highest for any game-worn sports jersey, trailing only a 1932 Babe Ruth jersey. The sale continues a trend of high-value Jordan memorabilia from the 'Last Dance' season, which includes two other jerseys from the same series selling for over $10 million and a pair of sneakers selling for $2.2 million.
