A jersey worn by Michael Jordan at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics sold for $216,000 (Dh793,459) on Sunday night in an auction that coincided with the release of a Chicago Bulls documentary.

Robert Edward Auctions, which sells high-end sports memorabilia, confirmed the sale of the autographed jersey.

It fetched the second-highest auction price for a Jordan jersey.

"Michael Jordan is arguably the most iconic athlete of all-time, winning six NBA titles and two Olympic gold medals," Robert Edward Auctions president Brian Dwyer said. "Collectors relished a rare opportunity to own Jordan's jersey from the 1992 Dream Team - the greatest basketball team ever assembled."

Bidding opened at $25,000 on April 7 and ended on the night of the premiere of ESPN's The Last Dance documentary.
