SELLER: Sotheby's
SALE PRICE: $4,900,000
NOTE: Wilt Chamberlain's 1972 NBA Finals jersey, worn in Game 2 and Game 5, set a new record for Chamberlain memorabilia at auction, fetching an impressive $4.9 million at Sotheby's. This historic jersey represents Chamberlain's first and only Finals MVP Award, won during the 1972 Finals, where the Los Angeles Lakers, led by Chamberlain, Gail Goodrich, Jerry West, Pat Riley, and coached by Bill Sharman, secured their first title in Los Angeles by defeating the New York Knicks. This auction price ranks as the third-highest for an NBA jersey, following Kobe Bryant's autographed $5.8 million jersey from his MVP season and Michael Jordan's iconic "Last Dance" 1998 NBA Finals jersey, both also auctioned by Sotheby's.
