Chicago Bulls legend and six-time NBA champion Scottie Pippen has hired Sotheby’s auction house to sell a selection of his personal memorabilia, including the jersey he wore during the championship-clinching game of the 1998 NBA Finals.
Dubbed “The Scottie Pippen Collection,” the auction is set to begin in March and will feature items he personally wore during his 17-year NBA career.
The collection is expected to be worth more than $6 million, with items ranging from $30,000 to over $1 million.
Pippen told Bloomberg in an interview that he started collecting his uniforms when he was a young kid.
“Eventually great things were happening,” Pippen said. “Whether it was winning a championship, being a part of an all star-team or being a part of the Dream Team, I realized that I was collecting a lot of valuable items.”
The most expensive item is expected to be a pair of Air Jordan VII sneakers worn by Michael Jordan during the 1992 “Dream Team” Olympics Gold medal game. According to Pippen, after the game, while they were in the locker room collecting their gear, he simply asked Jordan for his shoes.
“I asked him to sign them,” Pippen recalled, adding that he believed teammate Charles Barkley then said, “well, give me that jersey.”
The shoes are estimated to be worth between $1.5 and $2.5 million. Pippen mentioned that he has only ever kept two items collected from fellow players: the shoes from Jordan and a jersey from Larry Bird, both from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. The Bird jersey is also set to be included in the collection.
Pippen said that the timing was right to consolidate his collection and let go of the items.
“I felt like I had spent the time with it,” Pippen said. “I was kind of over it. For me I’ve seen enough of 33.”
