A game-worn Michael Jordan jersey from the 1992-93 NBA season has fetched an impressive $2.623 million at a recent auction.
The uniform, consisting of both the jersey and shorts, holds unique historical value which explains the hefty fee.
Jordan famously wore it during 17 games for the Chicago Bulls and was even photographed in the jersey for the October 18, 1993, cover of Sports Illustrated.
The authentication process involved top-tier photo-matching services MeiGray and Sports Investors Authentication (SIA). With SIA stating in its letter of authenticity: “We believe this jersey was very likely worn every road game from November 6, 1992 to March 24, 1993 [32 road games total].”
They also confirmed that it’s the only Jordan uniform currently known to be matched to a season from the Bulls’ initial championship three-peat (1991–93).
Although a complete photo match to all 32 road games couldn’t be made, the jersey and shorts were conclusively matched to 11 of them, with either the jersey or the shorts alone matched to an additional six.
Michael Jordan will be joining the NBA on NBC and Peacock as a special contributor for NBA coverage.

The 1992-93 campaign was an iconic chapter in both Jordan’s career and the Chicago Bulls’ dynasty. Jordan claimed his seventh consecutive scoring title that year, a feat that tied NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain for the most seasons leading the league in scoring.
He also guided the Bulls to complete their first three-peat, winning their third NBA title in as many years. In the Finals, though wearing a different uniform, Jordan delivered one of the most dominant performances in league history, averaging 41 points per game across six games – a record that still stands.
Despite its remarkable value, this jersey isn’t the most expensive Jordan collectable to date.
That honour belongs to the “Last Dance” jersey from Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals, which sold for a record-setting $10.091 million in September 2022.
At the time, it became the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia ever sold.
