... that on June 14, 2023, Michael Jordan's Flu Game shoes sold for US$1.38 million? Source: Despite subsequent revelations from Jordan's trainer and "The Last Dance" documentary that he wasn't actually ailed by the flu in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals -- "The Food Poisoning Game" doesn't pack the same wallop -- the sneakers that Jordan wore that night have sold for $1.38 million (including buyer's premium) with collectibles marketplace Goldin. The shoes sold at auction on Wednesday.

Moved to mainspace by Bruxton (talk). Self-nominated at 03:57, 19 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Flu Game shoes; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is long and new enough, within policy. Hook is within policy and as a basketball fan, it's certainly interesting to me. QPQ is done so this is good to go for the DYK section. I'd personally go with ALT1 but ALT0 works as well. Soulbust (talk) 13:38, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
