NBA fans still worship Michael Jordan.
The proof? A game-worn, autographed Jordan Wizards jersey sold for $47,872.50 (!) at an auction this past weekend, via ESPN‘s Darren Rovell:

The jersey was apparently worn by MJ on Dec. 1, 2002 in a 118-100 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, according to Goldin Auctions, the company that handled the sale. Jordan dropped 33 in the game, which was a season-high to that point.
The bidding began at $15,000 but was quickly surpassed.
