‘Dream Team’ jersey and more

● A 1992 US Olympic “Dream Team” jersey worn by Magic Johnson and memorabilia from former New York Knicks coach Red Holzman are among items available in an online auction of sports items that began on Wednesday.

SCP Auctions launched the bidding process for several items from NBA legends and Major League Baseball greats in the auction, which runs until September 28.

The item expected to receive the biggest bids is the blue USA jersey No 15 worn by Johnson as a member of the first US Olympic team of NBA stars, which rolled unbeaten through the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

Johnson had retired from the NBA after revealing he had contracted the HIV virus but played in the 1992 NBA All-Star Game and at Barcelona.

The jersey was photo-matched to Johnson’s appearance in an Olympic quarterfinal contest against Puerto Rico, which the US won 115-77.

The auction also features game-worn jerseys belonging to baseball greats Willie Mays and Ernie Banks.

The Banks jersey is a grey Chicago Cubs road uniform top from the 1969 season, and the 1968 Mays jersey is a San Francisco Giants home uniform shirt.

Other items include a bat used by former New York Yankees star Lou Gehrig.
