Time to Bid on NBA Magic Threads!…

Listen up, hoop fans! Sotheby’s is setting the stage for a slam dunk auction, featuring game-worn jerseys from legendary Lakers icon Kobe Bryant and Bulls superstar Michael Jordan. These epic threads—from their very first NBA games—are like the Holy Grail of basketball memorabilia. Auction specialists predict these jerseys will rack up a staggering $20 million in bids. You’ll find them draped in glory at Sotheby’s New York galleries, showing off their historical flair starting March 21.

Just imagine wearing Kobe or MJ’s rookie magic—talk about a one-of-a-kind fashion statement! Brahm Wachter from Sotheby’s describes this auction as “as rare as a unicorn dunking with style.” Early rookie jerseys mark the start of epicness in the world of sports. Owning these jerseys? It’s like having the superhero capes of basketball in your closet.

MJ’s jersey harks back to his preseason debut with the Bulls in the 1984–1985 season, even boasting the autograph of Air Jordan himself! Meanwhile, Kobe’s debut jersey from the 1996–1997 preseason is photo-matched to glory. Rookie season blues aside, these jerseys echo the greatness to come. And if Bronny & LeBron’s jerseys fetched $102K, imagine what Kobe & MJ’s will net! Ready, set, bid!
