A 14-time All-Star, Michael Jordan mesmerized the NBA’s most ardent fans for close to two decades. In spite of encountering several roadblocks along the way, MJ had one of the most successful careers in the league’s history.

Apparently, the ticket is also the sole unsold coupon for a Jordan game. With the numbers outdoing his expectations, the anticipated rate for his ticket is over $250,000.
