Sotheby's is auctioning 5 rare items related to Michael Jordan on October 23rd. The auction includes the jersey Jordan wore while guarding Allen Iverson in the "Crossover" game. Iverson has always idolized Jordan, mentioning in a interview for The Players Tribune:
"Anybody that know Allen Iverson know Black Jesus was it for me. I wanted to be like Mike. I remember the first time seeing him; I couldn’t believe it, man. I ain’t never looked at a person in my life — and I’ve seen millions of celebrities — I never looked at somebody that didn’t look real. Never. Like, the God damn guy was glowing or something, man,"
Iverson is shown in the Youtube video, and mentions his respect to Jordan, saying he would still feel the same way today if he were to meet Jordan in person. He goes on to talk about the iconic "crossover" moment.
