Michael Jordans 97-98 $33 Million Contract up for Auction! -- video highlights of the '98 championship game

Dallas based Heritage Auctions has obtained the 24 page document, which is signed by Michael Jordan several times, along with members of the Bulls' front office. The current bid is set at $32,500. According to ESPN's Darren Rovell, the cosignor originally won the contract at a charity auction in 2000 for less than $1,000. 

Bidding at Heritage Auctions ends August 1st. Its at 40k rite now... whoa.

As the only Michael Jordan player's contract ever made available for public sale, and the most lucrative NBA contract bar none, this is a document that ranks among the most significant in the sport's archives. The paperwork that brought Babe Ruth into the New York Yankees fold famously commanded $1 million at auction, and the passing of decades may well establish this exceptional rarity as its equal as the legend of Michael Jordan retreats deeper into American sports history. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.

Happy Birthday Rafer "Skip to my Lou" Alston!

After scores of texts and an inability to schedule a face-to-face interview in New York, current Houston resident Rafer Alston and I are talking on the phone. And, as ever, the born leader out of South Jamaica, Queens who got his first dose of national fame after appearing on the cover of SLAM in 1997, has a lot to say.

Between the SLAM cover, which proclaimed the incoming Fresno State junior “the best point guard in the world (you’ve never heard of),” the AND 1 Mixtapes and Tours and the NBA career that lasted from 1999-2010, Alston’s story was oft-told. But with the demise of streetball as a crowd- and television audience-drawing branch of the sport, and Alston’s somewhat-rushed disappearance from the League, it’s a story that has already been forgotten by many. And, given the fast-paced media world of today and the millions of new young fans basketball gains each year, Rafer’s is a story many may not know at all.

So, with the help of the 37-year-old Alston and a couple of the folks he impressed along the way, we’ll re-tell it.
