T-shirt of the Frenchman’s first pick in the 2023 NBA draft Victor Vembanyama from his NBA debut was sold at Sotheby’s for $762,000.
The 19-year-old’s San Antonio Spurs jersey from the game against the Dallas Mavericks was expected to sell for between $80,000 and $120,000. In this game, the center scored 15 points, had five rebounds and gave two assists.
176 people from 14 countries participated in the auction. As ESPN notes, 762,000 is a record amount for an NBA rookie jersey in its first game.
