NBA – Worn by Michael Jordan with the Dream Team at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, this jacket could reach three million dollars!
For any good basketball fan who respects, this is one of the images of the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992. On the podium, while the gold medal is presented to the members of the Dream Team, Michael Jordan posed an American flag on his shoulder. It was not out of patriotism but to hide the logo of Reebok, the official sponsor of the United States. More than 30 years later, this jacket is the star of a Sotheby’s auction, and according to PAit could sell for between one and three million dollars!
Signed by Michael Jordan himself
Since 1992, it has been owned by Brian McIntyre, and he was close to the American selection. Hired in the communication department of the NBA in 1981, this press officer took care of public relations for NBA players during international competitions such as the Olympic Games and World Cups. That’s how he got that jacket back, and AP says Jordan is aware his jacket will be auctioned off. Proof that it is indeed his, it is signed by his hand: “To Brian, Thanks for Everything, Michael Jordan.”
A month ago, Sotheby’s closed the sale of Air Jordan XIII “Bred” at $2.24 million, and it is the most expensive Michael Jordan pair in history! He had worn them during the 1998 Finals. As a reminder, the last jersey worn by Jordan during Game 1 of these same Finals had reached 10.09 million dollars!
