Michael Jordan's 'Last Dance' jersey sells for record £9m

A Michael Jordan jersey worn in the 1998 NBA Finals has sold for $12.3 million (£9.3 million) at a digital auction hosted by Joopiter. This sale marks a new record for a piece of Jordan memorabilia, surpassing the previous record of $10.1 million for a jersey worn in the same finals. The jersey was linked to Jordan's final championship run with the Chicago Bulls, during which he was named Finals MVP. The high-profile auction was run by entrepreneur Ryan Gough, who estimated the jersey's value between $10 million and $15 million. It is now regarded as one of the most significant game-worn sports artifacts.
