A rare piece of Chicago sports championship history is up for auction.
Any Bulls uniform worn by Michael Jordan is sure to be priceless to countless fans. But for the right price, it could, in fact, be yours.
The away-game uniform dates back to the 1992-1993 season — the third of six Bulls championship seasons during the 1990s.
In the 1992-1993 season, Jordan played in all 78 games — averaging 32.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.8 steals per game. He led the league in scoring for the seventh consecutive year, and averaged 35.1 points per game in the postseason.
The NBA legend wore the jersey and shorts for at least 17 games that season. The first was the Bulls’ 101-96 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, Nov. 13, 1992, in which Jordan scored 34 points while wearing the jersey. The last was the Bulls’ 97-95 loss to the Miami Heat on Thursday, March 11, 1993, when he wore both the jersey and shorts and scored 29.
All this has been proved by photo matches.
The Bulls — led by Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, B.J. Armstrong, Bill Cartwright, and John Paxson — went on to beat the Phoenix Suns four games to two in the 1993 NBA Finals and win their third straight NBA Championship.
There is no mention of Jordan having worn the uniform up for auction during any playoff games that year.
On Tuesday afternoon, the bid for it was at $662,500. But its estimated value is $2 million.
It is up for bid in the Heritage Auctions Spring Sports Catalog Auction.
