LeBron James Dominates Top Selling NBA Auctions Sales for First Half of 2023

By

When it comes to current NBA game-worn gear, LeBron James is still the king.  The future Hall of Famer occupies eight of the top ten sales at NBA Auctions for the first half of 2023.

Only the two Nikola Jokic Finals jerseys made available disrupted James’ ownership of the rankings.  Jokic’s Denver Nuggets’ teammate, Jamal Murray, accounted for the 11th highest sale with a Finals jersey reaching $60,000—the most ever paid for a Murray jersey.

The top 10 list includes multiple items from the night James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to be the league’s all-time leading scorer.
