What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
According to Hunt Auctions, the jersey was originally purchased from the Bulls by a private collector in 2003 and has changed hands only once since that initial purchase.
The red jersey is the one Jordan wore in Game 2 of that series on June 5, 1998; he and the Chicago Bulls beat the Utah Jazz that night to even the matchup at a game apiece.
Jordan and the Bulls would go on to win the series in six games, the sixth and final title of his Hall of Fame career.
"While Michael Jordan's importance within the sports memorabilia marketplace has long been established it has now escalated to an elite asset class more typically reserved for iconic works of art," Hunt Auctions president David Hunt said.
