A Los Angeles Lakers warmup jacket once worn by Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain has been sold at auction for $89,600.
The sale price was confirmed by the auction house on Monday, capping bidding that drew interest from basketball memorabilia collectors nationwide. The purple-and-gold garment dates to Chamberlain’s tenure with the Lakers, a period highlighted by the franchise’s first championship in Los Angeles.
Chamberlain, who played for the Lakers from 1968 to 1973, remains one of the NBA’s most dominant centers, and items linked to his career are among the most sought-after in the sports-collectibles market.
