An auction of 82 of the trophies and other memorabilia of bankrupt tennis legend Boris Becker has sold for about $860,000.

Becker, now 51, won six Grand Slam titles in his career. He was declared bankrupt two years ago and the money will help pay off some of his creditors.

The auction took place in London and many of the bidders were those who were attending the tournament at Wimbledon. Some of Becker’s biggest trophies are missing, according to coverage in Europe.

NBA Auctions continues its sales of jerseys and other items used in this year’s Finals.  The Toronto Raptors’ Game 4 jerseys are on the block for a little while longer and you can also bid on MVP Kawhi Leonard’s warm up-used shooting shirt and jacket.

About three dozen shirts and jackets used in pre-game drills are on the block, but photo matching has been tough because of a lack of available photos so they’re calling many “game issued.” 

You can check them out here.

Player lockers, interior decor and other items from the former home of the Detroit Pistons is up for auction.

Items from the Palace of Auburn Hills include murals and photos of former Pistons greats that hung inside the building.

The auction runs through June 20 and there are a lot of items, some more noteworthy than others.

They’re also selling pairs of seats from the old building.
