Christie's Presents Six Rings - Legacy of the GOAT

New York – Christie’s, in partnership with Sports Authority Authentication Services (SAAS), presents Six Rings – Legacy of the GOAT, an online-only sale dedicated to the legacy of Michael Jordan, open from 1-14 June. All six lots will be exhibited at Christie’s Rockefeller Center galleries from 3-8 June.

The auction presents six rare objects that tie to memorable and significant moments throughout six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan’s career. With every victory, be it a single shot, game, or championship win, the memory lives on in the physical objects that assisted these defining moments of sports history.

Among the highlights is a pair of Michael Jordan game-worn and dual-signed Player Exclusive Air Jordan Low XIII sneakers (estimate: $500,000-750,000). Jordan wore these photo-matched and dual-signed Air Jordan low XIII sneakers on June 12, 1998, during the first two quarters of Game 5 against the Utah Jazz. The present pair from Jordan’s second to last game as a Chicago Bull are also photo matched to a pertinent scene in the documentary The Last Dance, where Jordan is holding the pair in his hands while motivating his team.

Details on each lot can be found below and on the viewing room online.
