The jersey is game-worn and autographed, and comes from the \"Last Dance\" season, when Jordan led the Bulls to their sixth and final championship of the decade.\n\nThat 1998 title, clinched against the Jazz, closed out Jordan's second three-peat and remains one of the most documented runs in sports history thanks to the later ESPN docuseries that gave the season its nickname.\n\nGame-worn jerseys from that specific Finals have been on a steady climb in the collectibles market, repeatedly resetting the price ceiling for basketball items. This latest sale, tied to Game 2 of that series, pushes the number higher again, underscoring how far collectors are willing to go for physical pieces of Jordan's final Bulls championship.","published_at":"2026-10-12T23:04:35.401115+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Jordan game-worn NBA Finals jersey sells for record price of $14 million","url":"https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/50165903/jordan-game-worn-1998-nba-finals-jersey-sells-14-million"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jordan 'Last Dance' jersey sells for record £10.6m","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jordan-last-dance-jersey-sells-211027548.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Michael Jordan NBA Finals jersey sells for record $14 million","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/12/sports/michael-jordan-nba-finals-jersey-sells-for-record-14-million/"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Michael Jordan 1998 NBA Finals Game 2 jersey sells for record $14 million","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7684182/2026/10/12/michael-jordan-nba-finals-jersey-record-last-dance/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Jordan jersey sells for $14 million","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/michael-jordan-jersey-sells-14-134359713.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Jordan jersey from 1998 NBA Finals sells for $14 million","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/michael-jordan-jersey-from-1998-nba-finals-sells-for-14-million-142127827.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Game-worn Michael Jordan 1998 NBA Finals jersey sells for record $14M","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/game-worn-michael-jordan-1998-150504110.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Jordan "Last Dance," 1998 Finals Game 2 jersey sells for record $14 million","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/michael-jordan-last-dance-1998-172008746.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bulls’ Michael Jordan Last Dance NBA Finals jersey sells for whopping $14 million","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bulls-michael-jordan-last-dance-182015029.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Jordan’s ‘Last Dance’ jersey sets $14 million record in private sale","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/michael-jordan-last-dance-jersey-190044904.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Jordan NBA Finals jersey sells for record $14 million","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/michael-jordan-nba-finals-jersey-184536243.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Jordan jersey sells for record $14 million","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/michael-jordan-jersey-sells-record-233323331.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Michael Jordan NBA Finals memorabilia sells for $14 million","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/michael-jordan-nba-finals-memorabilia-014607016.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://a2.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2020%2F0331%2Fr684529_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg","credit":"ESPN","width":1296},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
