Boasting $2,000,000 Worth Michael Jordan Possession, $8 Billion Rich Luxury Brand?s 1998 Tribute on Display

NBA legend Michael Jordan is considered not only the GOAT of the NBA but also one of the best athletes ever. Over the course of his playing career, Jordan won every accolade there is as he dominated his opponents. At the top of his game, MJ shocked everyone when he retired from the NBA after a three-peat. However, he came back and did the unthinkable with the Chicago Bulls: win three straight titles again. A luxury brand recently put one of Jordan’s jerseys from the iconic Last Dance on display.

Jordan played for the Washington Wizards after his second retirement. However, it is often brushed away because of the lack of team success. On the other hand, his second stint with the Bulls is considered legendary.

A game-worn jersey of Michael Jordan takes center stage

Given the massive superstardom of Michael Jordan, memorabilia related to him is a collector’s dream. There is a huge after-sale market for rare and iconic Air Jordan sneakers and many collectors have made huge profits by reselling. Furthermore, there is a massive demand for other collectibles such as game-worn shoes, jerseys, cards, etc. The value of the memorabilia grows rapidly if it is related to the Last Dance.

MJ’s last title with the Bulls holds a special place in the hearts of basketball fans around the world. So almost everything related to it is bound to be a major success. The Last Dance docuseries is a prime example. Notably, one of MJ’s game-worn jerseys from the 1998 NBA Finals made a record sale last year when it was sold for a whopping $10 million.

Recently, a jersey from the iconic final year with the Bulls was put on display by Bucherer. It was apparently from game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Notably, Bucherer was bought by $8 billion worth luxury brand Rolex this year.

According to a report from Watchpro, the jersey is worth around $1 to $2 million. It was displayed at Bucherer’s flagship store, Sotheby?s Salon in Zurich. Even before Rolex’s takeover, Bucherer had been keen on high-end collectibles other than watches and jewelry and the brand continues its interest.

The Last Dance

Michael Jordan, some of his teammates, and head coach Phil Jackson were at a stalemate with the Bulls front office in 1997. The management wanted to rebuild as Jordan was aging and they were not interested in renewing Jackson’s contract, either. Notably, General Manager Jerome Krause did not have a good relationship with MJ, Scottie Pippen, Jackson, and so forth.

However, MJ wanted the front office to give the squad a shot at the three-peat. Coupled with the enormous amount of pressure from fans, the management decided to keep the team together for one more year. Hence the name, Last Dance. As His Airness believed, the Bulls once again defeated everyone and clinched the championship.
