Jalen Brunson's jersey from Game 1 of NBA Finals sells for over $1 million
The jersey Jalen Brunson wore during Game 1 of the NBA Finals just sold for more than $1 million.
The New York Knicks' star player's jersey sold for $1,024,000 at a Sotheby's auction Wednesday.
Brunson scored 30 points during that game and helped lead the team to the championship over the San Antonio Spurs. He was named the NBA Finals MVP after the Knicks won the title for the first time in 53 years.
While $1 million is a high price to pay, it doesn't come close to the record. That belongs to Michael Jordan, whose Game 1 Chicago Bulls jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals sold for $10.1 million.
