And those looking to get a unique part of that history will have to dig deep.

The NBA is auctioning off jerseys worn by the Toronto Raptors in the winning game — and so far, Kawhi Leonard’s uni has 50 bids, topping out at $35,000.

The auction description says: “Leonard wore this jersey during the Raptors’ 118-109 victory over the Golden State Warriors on May 30, 2019 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ont. He played 43 minutes and registered 23 points with four assists, eight rebounds and one steal. This was the first NBA Finals game played outside the United States.”

It’s no surprise Kawhi’s jersey is a highly sought after prize, but what about the other players?

The jersey of Kyle Lowry, an NBA all-star and the longest-serving Raptor on the roster, has 48 bids, topping at $4,000.

Danny Green’s game jersey is fetching $2,500.

The top bid for Serge Ibaka’s jersey is $2,600.

For those on a bit of a budget, a jersey worn by a player like Malcolm Miller — top bid of $600 — might be appealing.

Cheaper still is a framed photo of the Raptors victory in the Eastern Conference sold by Real Sports. Featuring an authentic piece of the net used in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference final, it costs $300.
