At the peak, there was no one quite like Michael Jordan in basketball. He wasn’t just a generational superstar. Jordan’s fame grew to global standards within just a few years in the league. Everyone wanted to ‘be like Mike’. Decades after his retirement, the sentiments didn’t change. Before, people would do anything to buy a ticket to watch His Airness’ sublime mastery. Today, he is able to fetch millions on some iconic possessions which hold a piece of his glorious legacy.

In October last year, a single auction sale proved how the name Jordan can still stir a whirlpool. A jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals, the ‘Last Dance’ of the Chicago Bulls fetched a whopping $10.1 million. The sale broke the record for the most lucrative auction house deal for sports memorabilia, a proof of MJ’s immortal fame. But it seems there is more to come.

Another Michael Jordan jersey is ready to hit the auctions

According to a recent report from Reuters, a Michael Jordan possession from his time on the ‘Dream Team’ is all set to hit an auction block in Los Angeles. The item is a practice jersey the six-time champion wore during his time on the historic team. The jersey is expected to fetch anywhere between $400,000-$600,000.

The uniform has the staple red, white, and blue for The USA. Signed by the man himself, it is part of a “Sports Legends” collection of sports memorabilia and collectibles June 23-25.
