Michael Jordan’s 1992-93 Bulls jersey, worn in at least 11 games and a Sports Illustrated shoot, sold for $2.623 million at Heritage Auctions. Though not a record, the sale underscores Jordan’s enduring impact as a sports and cultural icon.a
The global fascination with Michael Jordan memorabilia continues to soar—this time with a rare jersey from the 1992-93 NBA season fetching a jaw-dropping $2.623 million, including the buyer’s premium, at a Heritage Auctions event on Sunday.
The sale was first reported by ESPN’s Dan Hajducky and later confirmed by various outlets.
The jersey wasn’t just any uniform—it was photo-matched to at least 11 regular-season games during Jordan’s third championship campaign with the Chicago Bulls, a season in which he averaged 32.6 points per game and secured his seventh consecutive scoring title.
The jersey also featured prominently in a Sports Illustrated photo shoot published on October 18, 1993, just weeks after Jordan’s first shocking retirement from the NBA. Authentication was verified by renowned photo-matching services MeiGray and Sports Investors Authentication, lending confidence to the garment’s extraordinary value.
While the $2.623 million price tag is enormous, it falls short of the record-breaking $10.091 million paid for Jordan’s 1998 NBA Finals “Last Dance” jersey, sold at Sotheby’s in 2022. This latest sale reflects the continued reverence for Jordan’s legacy—both on and off the hardwood.
Now 62 years old, Jordan recently made headlines for joining NBC’s new NBA coverage team as a special contributor, marking a return to the league in a media role. This follows his tenure as majority owner and governor of the Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets, a role he held from 2010 to 2023.
