CHICAGO (REUTERS) - Michael Jordan's game-worn jersey from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics sold for US$216,000 (S$306,000) on Sunday night (April 19) in an auction that coincided with the release of a widely viewed Chicago Bulls documentary.
Robert Edward Auctions, which sells high-end sports memorabilia, confirmed the sale of the autographed, game-used jersey.
It fetched the second-highest auction price for a Jordan jersey.
Bidding opened at US$25,000 on April 7 and ended on the night of the premiere of ESPN's The Last Dance documentary.
"Michael Jordan is arguably the most iconic athlete of all-time, winning six NBA titles and two Olympic Gold medals," Robert Edward Auctions president Brian Dwyer said in a statement.
"Collectors relished a rare opportunity to own Jordan's jersey from the 1992 Dream Team - the greatest basketball team ever assembled."
