Summary
- The NBA halted the auction of the historic Game 4 game ball.
- The ball secured the Knicks' comeback win in Game 4.
- It was expected to sell for approximately $3 million.
The NBA has stepped in to prevent the sale of a significant piece of memorabilia: the game ball from the New York Knicks' remarkable Game 4 comeback win during the NBA Finals. This crucial ball secured the Knicks' victory in the final seconds.
The league stated the ball will remain with the team as a piece of franchise history, rather than being sold at Sotheby's auction on June 30.
This ball was expected to command a high price, with an estimated value of $3 million, possibly more depending on buyer interest. The Knicks achieved a 29-point comeback in Game 4, setting an NBA Finals record for second-half 3-pointers.
