Follow spoken words in real time.
A white Chicago Bulls basketball jersey worn by Michael Jordan in 1998 will soon be sold at auction. Experts expect the jersey to sell for between $10 million and $15 million. Jordan wore it during Game 3 of the NBA Finals, a famous time called "The Last Dance," when he led the Bulls to their sixth championship.
The jersey is very special because Jordan played one of his best games while wearing it. On 7 June 1998, at the United Center in Chicago, Jordan scored 24 points to help the Bulls win 96–54 against the Utah Jazz. This victory was important because it gave the Bulls a big advantage in the series.
The online auction company Joopiter says this is the only known white jersey from those finals being sold to the public. The auction will take place from 15 to 29 September.
