Michael Jordan jersey worn during 1992-93 season could sell for millions
Another Michael Jordan game-used uniform has hit the auction block with a pre-sale estimate in the millions.
Heritage is selling a jersey and shorts worn by Jordan during the 1992-93 season, as well as on the cover of Sports Illustrated in October 1993 that announced his first retirement. The lot has an estimate of $2 million and up.

The red road jersey has been matched to a remarkable 17 games during the season and is said to be the only jersey matched to any games from the Bulls first three-peat (1991-93).
Later in Jordan's career, especially in 1998, he began wearing more jerseys as their value became more recognized, with each featuring fewer games of wear— in stark contrast to gamers from earlier years that were worn for extended periods of time.

In November 2024, MeiGray said in its history it had authenticated 25 game-worn Jordan jerseys from the 1997-98 season, with 20 of those being used in just a single game. The authenticator also said, at the time, it had examined 130 jerseys said to be worn by Jordan from the seasons prior to 1997-98, but had only found four to be authentic.

Last November, a 1996-97 jersey matched to 17 games — the same number as the jersey at Heritage — and described as 'the most extensively worn Michael Jordan Bulls game-worn jersey ever submitted to MeiGray Authenticated,' including 'The Crossover' game, sold for $4.68 million.
The jersey worn by Jordan in his NBA preseason debut sold last month for $4.2 million.

Key Alabama football starter injured. Kalen DeBoer provides latest update on lead tailback
With less than two weeks until the season opener at Florida State on Aug. 30, Alabama football will be without a key starter for an indefinite amount of time. Early Sunday, coach Kalen DeBoer confirmed a report from Will Miller of Sports Illustrated that starting tailback Jam Miller had sustained an upper-body injury during the second scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday. "Jam Miller suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's scrimmage and went in for a procedure on Saturday evening," DeBoer said in a press release. "Jam should recover fully with a timetable for his return yet to be determined." Sports Illustrated's Miller reported late Saturday that the Crimson Tide running back was expected to miss multiple games, including the season opener at Florida State (2:30 p.m. CT, ABC). Miller is Alabama's most experienced running back and was its leading rusher out of the backfield a season ago. The senior from Tyler, Texas, ran for 668 yards and seven touchdowns on 145 carries in 2024. In three years at Alabama, he's rushed for 1,092 yards on 219 carries. Miller had two touchdown runs in Alabama's 34-0 win over Missouri on Oct. 26, and a season-high 140 yards on 15 carries in the Week 2 win over South Florida on Sept. 7. His conference-high in yardage -- 84 yards, 28 carries -- came in Alabama's 28-14 win over Auburn, its fifth straight in the series. Miller also caught 16 passes for 155 yards last season, including a 16-yard catch and run in the first quarter of Alabama's 41-34 victory over Georgia on Sept. 28. With Miller sidelined, Alabama can look to sophomore Richard Young, a former four-star recruit from Florida who's been with the program since 2023. Young had 27 carries for 146 yards (5.4 AVG) and two touchdowns a season ago. The Crimson Tide also have sophomore Daniel Hill, who saw action in six games and went for 61 yards on 21 carries in 2024. Louisiana transfer Dre Washington is another option. He rushed for 1,343 yards over three seasons in Lafayette. Follow us at @RollTideWire on X, and like our page on Facebook for ongoing coverage of Alabama Crimson Tide news, notes and opinions.

Rafer Alston reveals he would rather play pickup basketball with Jordan than Magic because he cheats: "At least Mike will play ball and not call all that"
Rafer Alston reveals he would rather play pickup basketball with Jordan than Magic because he cheats: "At least Mike will play ball and not call all that" originally appeared on Basketball Network. Rafer Alston, better known as "Skip 2 My Lou" in streetball circles, carved a solid NBA career across 11 seasons. Originally from New York, Alston went all over the East and West coasts trying to make his dream work. Alston found himself playing pickup games with Michael Jordan in Chicago during one of his countless stops. It was an experience he surely would never forget, but Alston couldn't help but take a dig at another NBA legend — Magic Johnson. "I had a chance to go to Chicago in the summer and work out with Mike, play some pickup ball," recalled the And-1 mixtape legend. "Mike talked shit the whole game. But I'd rather play pickup ball with Mike than Magic Johnson. Magic cheats. Magic is 1000-0 in his pickup runs that he held in L.A. at UCLA." "At least Mike would play ball and Mike wouldn't call all that," added Alston. Magic was known for more than his passing ability From what it sounded like, Alston chose to work out with MJ over Johnson for a very specific reason. By then, Magic was well past his prime, making any "cheating" situations all the more frustrating. Jordan was expected to talk smack, but outright calling phantom fouls at his bidding would have made playing against Johnson insufferable. "If he missed a shot, y'all going down laying the ball up on the other end, he's like, 'Yo, y'all gonna stop this buffoonery and bring my foul.' Everybody was like, 'Who fouled you, Magic?' Everyone can vouch for this story," added Alston. Everyone who was there knew this. Even Paul Pierce talked about this on national television, and Johnson openly admitted to this as well. It didn't seem like it was a big deal for Pierce and the youngsters who were victimized by Johnson's antics, but the latter claimed he did it to teach them a lesson about overcoming adversity. Whatever Magic's reason was, it was evident that Skip 2 My Lou didn't want any part of it. After all, going up against His Airness in any basketball setting would have had all the makings of a story you'd tell your the streets to the NBA Alston was one of a few in the mixtape, streetball era to transition and do well in the Association. That said, it was never easy, as having that streetball cred sometimes gave others the impression that he didn't belong. Needless to say, Alston proved them wrong. That makes Alston's journey and career the ultimate feel-good story. Most players came up through prep schools and blue-blood programs, but he went through Rucker Park, VHS tapes and open runs where flair mattered more than fundamentals. But even in a league that often looked down on the flashier parts of streetball, Alston proved that the NBA could be his playground, too. That's why his preference for no-nonsense pickup games with Mike over Magic's antics said a lot. For all the flash and swagger that made him a streetball icon, Alston still valued structure, competition and the purity of the game. Beneath the crossovers and crowd-pleasing moves was a player who just wanted to hoop without story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 9, 2025, where it first appeared.

Bulls rumors: The $80 million contract Chicago offered Josh Giddey at start of free agency
The post Bulls rumors: The $80 million contract Chicago offered Josh Giddey at start of free agency appeared first on ClutchPoints. One of the major questions for the Chicago Bulls this offseason has involved the future of point guard Josh Giddey, who turned into a triple double machine down the stretch of last season. Still, for a while it has appeared that the two sides are quite far apart on talks for a potential new deal to keep the former Oklahoma City Thunder lottery pick in the Windy City. Recently, NBA insider Jake Fischer took to Marc Stein's Substack to reveal the initial contract that Chicago offered Giddey earlier this offseason, and how things have unfolded from there. 'League sources say that the Bulls made an offer of $80 million over four years to restricted free agent Josh Giddey when the offseason commenced on June 30,' reported Fischer. 'Giddey, of course, is seeking an annual salary in the $30 million range. Chicago has been anchored in the $20 million range in annual value ever since its original offer.' Fischer also reported that some other teams have been interested in potential sign and trade scenarios for Giddey, but that thus far, nothing has materialized on that front. 'The Bulls have likewise become generally known over the past few years as a team that can be challenging to talk trade with. Rival executives have had trouble for several trade deadlines in a row trying to pinpoint whether the Bulls were or weren't looking to offload some of their veteran players,' noted Fischer. A big decision for the Bulls While the Bulls' season ended in familiar fashion last year–a play-in game exit vs the Miami Heat–it was a bit easier of a pill to swallow for Chicago fans considering that this time around, their team was led by young talent as opposed to aging vets like DeMar DeRozan. A big part of that youth movement was the emergence of Giddey, who played the best basketball of his career down the stretch of last season and showcased the playmaking at 6'8″ that made him an intriguing draft prospect back in 2021. It remains to be seen whether the Bulls and Giddey will finally come to terms on a new deal any time in the near future.
