To the hundreds of records that the Los Angeles Lakers player, LeBron James, has left in the NBA, will now be added one that did not make it on the court but that also entered the basketball history books.
And it is that the shirt that LeBron James wore in game 7 of the NBA was auctioned last Friday for a total amount of $3.68 million dollars.
The person in charge of the auction, the company Sotheby’s, announced the specific amount and also stated that it is the most expensive ‘King’ shirt ever sold.
“Today’s tremendous result comes at a pivotal moment in LeBron James’ career, where he is within easy reach of earning the all-time scoring record, one of the most revered accolades in the NBA,” the company said. .
The clothing corresponds to Game 7 of the NBA Finals in 2013, where LeBron James, while wearing the Miami Heat uniform, won his second championship and the first MVP of a final against the San Antonio Spurs, whom they beat 98-88.
On that occasion LeBron used the number 6, being the first time that he identified himself with that number that replaced the 23 that he used with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
This is not the first record James has achieved in a jersey. In 2019, a uniform from his High School days sold for $187,500 and became the most expensive ever for a non-professional player.
