The things people will pay for can sometimes gross you out, but whatever floats their boat.
Somewhere out there may be a Michael Jordan superfan who is willing to shell out hundreds of dollars in order to obtain his “personally worn” boxer shorts.
An auction insider told Page Six that the Bulls legend’s shorts were “regularly” worn by Jordan and show signs of “heavy use.”

Via the report:
“The blurb also says that this item is “about as close to greatness as one can get,” which seems fair enough but only if what you mean by “greatness” is MJ’s sweaty Chicago Bulls.
The good news — or the bad news if that’s “your thing” — is that they have a dry cleaning tag in them, so they’ve probably been washed.
The reserve price is $500 which, we’re just going to go ahead and note for no particular reason, is also about the cost of a couple of decent therapy sessions. Spend wisely.
The shorts are part of a sale of Jordan’s belongings that ended up in the hands of his one-time bodyguard, John Michael Wozniak (who was memorably seen beating Jordan in a game of coin-toss in the Bulls doc, “The Last Dance”). Other items in the sale include coats, suits, ties and golf clubs that once belonged to the GOAT.”
John Michael Wozniak has previously sold items related to Jordan through the same auctioneer. How he even ended up with Jordan’s used boxer shorts is between him and Michael Jordan.
The Knicks-76ers Game Did Not Go As Planned For Joel Embiid
As for the game itself, Sixers center Joel Embiid put himself out there with a guarantee his team would force a Game 7 and win the series. Despite his best efforts – 39 points and 13 rebounds – things didn’t work out the way he promised.
“We just didn’t accomplish what we wanted to. And the thing is: We believe in ourselves so much that we believed that we actually could’ve won it. But everything didn’t go the way we wanted it to.”
Jalen Brunson led the Knicks in scoring with 41 points, 12 assists, and three rebounds, with Josh Hart adding 16 points and hitting a clutch long-distance shot in the dying moments to give New York a three-point lead.
“It felt great. We knew it was going to be a tough environment. A little tougher than last game because there was 2,500 seats that were taken up,” Hart said. “It was a tough place to play, but a place we’re all comfortable in.”
