Several items Michael Jordan gifted to longtime personal security guard John Michael Wozniak have hit the auction block.

Wozniak, a United States Army veteran and former narcotics officer with the Chicago Police Department, went viral after beating Jordan at a game of quarters and breaking out his famous shrug in "The Last Dance" documentary series.

The items being auctioned off by Leland's include a diamond-studded ring celebrating Jordan's sixth NBA championship, a Rolex watch Jordan gave Wozniak for Christmas in 1993, one of Jordan's game-worn Washington Wizards jerseys, and Wozniak's Chicago Bulls security jacket.

Wozniak died in January at the age of 69 following a battle with cancer. His son, Nicholi Wozniak, told Nashville's NewsChannel 5 in May that Jordan saw his father "as a brother and a friend."
