Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are two of the most important and influential NBA stars of all time.
Everything they touched and owned is a part of NBA history, including their jerseys.
Some NBA collectors are going to be very lucky soon because TMZ Sports is reporting, via NBACentral, that Jordan and Bryant’s first game-worn jerseys will be up for auction at Sotheby’s soon.
And how much does someone need to pay to get these iconic uniforms?
Reportedly, the two jerseys will collectively sell for up to $20 million.

For an NBA fan, these jerseys are as good as it gets when it comes to sports memorabilia.
Even for someone who doesn’t love the Chicago Bulls or Los Angeles Lakers, they are iconic and larger than life.
Their importance cannot be overstated and that is why the price point is so high.
As expensive as $20 million is, there is no doubt that someone will buy these uniforms and hang them proudly, either at a private exhibit, publicly, or somewhere else.
Jordan’s first game came on October 26, 1984, when his Chicago Bulls played against the Washington Bullets.
During his first game, Jordan put up 16 points, 6 rebounds, and seven assists.
It was just the first of many great games for the young star, who would later win Rookie of the Year.
As for Bryant, his first game was on November 3, 1996, when the Los Angeles Lakers squared off against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Bryant didn’t score any points during that game and it would be a little while before he was making a lot of noise in LA.
But we all know how it ended up for both of these players and their places in league history are secure.
It is hard to think of pieces of sports history that are bigger and more valuable than these two.
They could be worth every penny.
