Michael Jordan’s jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals is expected to fetch up to $5 million when it hits the Sotheby’s auction block next month.

The jersey is a red away game jersey that Jordan wore in Game 1 of the Chicago Bulls’ series against the Utah Jazz, according to a report.

In that game, Jordan played 45 minutes and put up 33 points, the report noted.

Although the Bulls lost Game 1 88-85, they would rebound and win the series four games to two.

The Bulls’ victory over the Jazz would earn Jordan, who is widely considered the greatest basketball player of all time, his sixth championship ring.

“The Last Dance as it’s called, was Michael’s final season with the Chicago Bulls (1997-1998) and is perhaps the most beloved period in Jordan folklore, as Michael reached the apex of his popularity and powers while simultaneously conquering major internal divisions that were fracturing the team dynamics of the late 90s Chicago Bulls,” the auction house said regarding the jersey.

The jersey will feature at Sotheby’s New York exhibition from Sept. 6-12.
