The record of Maradona’s “Mano de Dios” jersey is beaten
As reported by ESPN, the jersey worn by Michael Jordan in Game 1 of the NBA Finals NBA sold for a record $ 10,091 million (sold by the auction house Sotheby’s).
This is the highest paid sports memorabilia ever: the previous record that belonged to Diego Armando Maradona’s shirt, the famous 1986 Mano de Dios, was broken. The previous record for an NBA jersey was equal to 3.69 million dollars, paid in May 2021 for the one worn by Kobe Bryant during his rookie season (1996-97). It has been revealed that there have been 20 super offers for the MJ shirt.
