Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's collection of memorabilia from his Hall of Fame career fetched nearly $3 million at auction on Sunday.
Abdul-Jabbar put up 234 lots of memorabilia -- including four of his six NBA championship rings -- up for sale through Goldin Auctions with "much of the proceeds" going to his Skyhook Foundation charity to help benefit kids learn about science, technology, engineering and math.
The items fetched $2,947,872.25.
The rings commemorating the Los Angeles Lakers' titles in the 1980s, which had starting bids of $60-65,000, accounted for four of the top five highest sales at the auction's close.
