Jordan 'Last Dance' jersey sells for record £10.6m - BBC

A Michael Jordan jersey from his 'Last Dance' season has sold for $14m (£10.6m), a record for a piece of basketball memorabilia. Jordan wore the Chicago Bulls jersey during game two of the 1998 NBA Finals and has autographed it too. He scored a game-high 37 points that evening before ending his last season with the Bulls with a 4-2 series win for his sixth and final NBA Championship. He was named the Finals' Most Valuable Player in all six. The only item of sports memorabilia that has cost more is the jersey worn by baseball legend Babe Ruth when he "called the shot" during the 1932 World Series, which was sold for $24.1m (£18.2m) in 2024. The previous high for a basketball item was a card featuring Jordan and Kobe Bryant from 2007-08 which sold for $12.9m (£9.8m) last year. The previous record for a piece of game-worn Jordan memorabilia was set just two weeks ago when his jersey from game three of the 1998 Finals, which is not autographed, sold via auction for $12.3m (£9.3m). The latest purchase was made by Miami real estate investor Ron Firman in a private sale through Hunt Auctions.

Real Sports Are Women’s Sports - Her Campus

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Queen's U chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus. Think you know sports? On September 9, 2026, a video of Sydney Sweeney appeared on social media and sparked widespread backlash. It was an ad created by Novig, a sports prediction marketing company, showing Sydney Sweeney appearing nude or nearly nude while using different sports equipment to cover parts of her body. The purpose of the video was to promote a sports prediction market that was strictly sports, excluding other outside factors. Their idea was to “prove” that anyone can use their knowledge of sports by participating in a prediction market. After I watched it, I felt many emotions: Anger, disgust, confusion. Disappointment. As a woman who grew up playing sports and has seen firsthand what it’s like to be a woman athlete and try every single day to prove yourself, I have a lot to say about this video.
