Michael Jordan 'The Last Dance' Game-Worn 1998 NBA Finals Game 3 Jersey

Few objects in the history of sport embody greatness as completely as Michael Jordan's Game 3 jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals. Worn during The Last Dance—the final championship run of the greatest basketball player of all time—it marks the culmination of an era that transformed basketball into a global cultural phenomenon. Today, it stands among the most important game-worn sports artifacts ever to come to market.

Immortalized as The Last Dance, the 1997–98 season marked Michael Jordan's final campaign with the Chicago Bulls and the culmination of one of the greatest dynasties in professional sports. Across eight seasons, the Bulls captured six NBA Championships, forever changing the landscape of modern athletics. Nearly three decades later, the 1998 NBA Finals remain the most-watched Finals in NBA history, underscoring the enduring cultural impact of Jordan's final championship season.

JOOPITER is proud to present the jersey worn by Michael Jordan during Game 3 of the 1998 NBA Finals, played on June 7, at Chicago's United Center against the Utah Jazz.

After splitting the opening two games in Utah, the series arrived in Chicago tied 1–1. Game 3 proved pivotal. With momentum hanging in the balance, Jordan played all but five minutes, recording 24 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and a block while leading the Bulls to a commanding 96–54 victory—the fewest points ever scored by a team in an NBA Finals game. The win shifted the series decisively in Chicago's favor and set Chicago on course for its sixth and final NBA Championship.

The significance of this jersey extends well beyond the box score. It captures the moment the Bulls seized control of the Finals that would complete the greatest dynasty in basketball history. Every image from the 1998 Finals has become part of the collective memory of sport, its legacy only strengthened by The Last Dance, which introduced Jordan's final championship run to an entirely new generation.

Game-worn Michael Jordan NBA Finals jerseys rank among the rarest and most coveted artifacts in sports collecting. Only four game-winning jerseys exist from the 1998 Finals—one from each Bulls victory that secured Jordan's sixth and final championship. This example is the only publicly known white game-winning jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals ever to surface, placing it among the rarest Michael Jordan game-worn jerseys in existence.

Its rarity is further distinguished by the iconic 1998 NBA Finals patch, regarded by collectors as one of the most coveted championship patches in sports memorabilia and an enduring symbol of Jordan's final title run. With only two championship-winning 1998 Finals jerseys remaining in private collections, there is no guarantee another will ever come to market, making this a truly once-in-a-generation collecting opportunity.

Pharrell has long believed that the world's greatest objects carry energy—that they preserve the ambition, emotion, and history of the people who shaped them. That philosophy is the foundation of JOOPITER. Few objects embody that belief more completely than this jersey. More than a game-worn uniform, it is a tangible connection to one of the defining moments in sporting history.

Standing at the pinnacle of basketball collecting, this jersey combines extraordinary provenance, exceptional rarity, and profound cultural significance. It represents not only the defining championship season of Michael Jordan's career, but one of the most important sports artifacts ever to come to market.

The jersey is accompanied by a MeiGray photomatching certificate and a letter of provenance from Bill Thoma.
