Michael Jordan's "Tune Squad" uniform in the 1996 film "Space Jam" will be up for bidding starting Oct. 1.

According to the report by Variety, Jordan's jersey is expecting to rake in at least $10,000, its starting bid.

Jordan wore the said uniform during the climactic scene in the movie between the Tune Squad opposite the Monstars. Mr. Swackhammer, voiced by Danny Devito, plotted to capture the Looney Tunes as the new entertainment for his amusement park, Moron Mountain. He sends his band of goons, the Nerdlucks, to challenge the Looney Tunes squad, according to the movie's website.

But when the Nerdlucks weren't taken as a serious threat, they stole the abilities of renowned basketball players Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Muggsy Bogues and Shawn Bradley, and were subsequently named Monstars to win against the Looney Tunes.

To help out his friends, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck recruited Michael Jordan against the Monstars. When Swackhammer saw Jordan, they made an agreement that if Jordan's team loses, he becomes the new attraction of the park. The Looney Tunes team consisted of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, The Tasmanian Devil, Michael Jordan and Lola Bunny.

The two teams battle it out in the basketball court and in the last few seconds of the game, Jordan manages to shoot the winning ball by extending his hand cartoonishly and saved the day.
