Basketball legend Michael Jordan's shoes from the famous flu game of the 1997 NBA Finals were sold for more than 100,000 dollars in an online auction on Thursday, according to reports.
According to Sport24, the Nike Air Jordan XII shoes were owned by a Utah Jazz ball boy who befriended Jordan when the Chicago Bulls visited Salt Lake City.
Jordan was playing with what he thought was the flu, but still led the Bulls to a key victory in the NBA Finals, the report said.
Preston Truman has said he asked for Jordan's shoes after the game and kept them locked in a safe-deposit box at a Utah bank for 15 years, the report added.
He turned down an 11,000-dollar offer for the size-13 shoes from a collector the next season, the report further said.
Thursday's sale followed several weeks of bidding and the collector wasn't identified, the report mentioned.
