Hooped Up

So how much do you really like Michael Jordan? Not as much as this guy, who parked his hover car long enough to buy the most expensive basketball jersey ever!  This unknown huge MJ fan, bought Jordan’s 1983 North Carolina Tar Heels, game-used, jersey at an auction held at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass for a dizzying $114,000 US.

This was the same jersey that Jordan wore as a Freshman when he hit the game winning shot against Georgetown to give the North Carolina Tar Heels a 63-62 victory and the 1982 NCAA championship. Save for LeBron’s 2003 jersey, available in 2028 now my friends!

After the jump, more Jordan collectibles you can’t afford unless you regularly wear a monocle and never complain about gas prices.
