"Utah Jazz legend Karl Malone recently auctioned off 24 pieces of memorabilia from the 1992 Summer Olympics USA Basketball "Dream Team" -- game-used jerseys and sneakers from all 12 members -- to the tune of $5 million.

"The bulk of those earnings from the auction with collectibles marketplace Goldin, unsurprisingly, came via Michael Jordan's No. 9 white jersey -- worn during the 127-76 dismantling of Lithuania in the semifinals. It sold for $3,003,000 -- a record for any game-used Olympics Jordan item. Jordan's game-worn sneakers from the 1992 Tournament of the Americas -- the pre-Olympics event where the Dream Team debuted -- sold for $420,000."
