A game-worn Michael Jordan jersey from the Chicago Bulls' 1996-97 season has sold for $4.68 million via Sotheby's.

The jersey was worn in at least 17 games during the season, including the game in which rookie sensation Allen Iverson crossed Jordan over.

It's the fourth-most expensive NBA jersey of all time behind Jordan's $10.1 million "Last Dance" jersey; a signed Kobe Bryant jersey worn in his lone MVP season in 2007-08 that sold for just over $5.8 million; and a 1972 NBA Finals jersey worn by Wilt Chamberlain during the Los Angeles Lakers' first NBA title run ($4.9 million).

According to Sotheby's, the jersey has "remained in private hands since its sale from the team."

The "Dream Team" US flag — that Jordan, out of his loyalty to Nike, used to cover his jacket's Reebok logo during the 1992 Olympic medal presentation — prompted a 45-bid battle, eventually selling for $1.8 million.
