A red, autographed jersey Michael Jordan wore in Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals sold for $14 million in a private sale through Pennsylvania-based Hunt Auctions, FOX 5 Atlanta reports, citing The Associated Press. The buyer is Miami real estate investor Ron Firman. It is the second-largest known price for a game-worn jersey, behind the $24.12 million paid in 2024 for Babe Ruth's 1932 World Series jersey.
