One Michael Jordan fanatic is now the lucky owner of the basketball star’s tighty-whiteys and we can bet that he is pretty chuffed with himself.

The underwear was put on auction in August this year and was finally sold to the biggest Michael Jordan fan who forked out an unbelievable amount of money to call himself the owner of someone else’s used underwear.

Despite what it sounds like, the underwear was taken to a dry cleaner beforehand, the ‘definite use’ only refers to some loose threads that are hanging from the pants.

According to TMZ, the underwear was taken to Leland Auctions by Michael Jordan’s friend and bodyguard John Michael Wozniak who also gave the auction house a few other items that once belonged to the basketball player.
