NEW YORK - A pair of sports shoes worn by Michael Jordan during the basketball finals at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics sold Sunday for $190,372 in an online auction, the auction house announced.

Wearing the white-and-blue Converse brand shoes, Jordan -- then still an amateur -- scored 20 points in a match against Spain on August 10, 1984 that ended up as a 96-65 walloping.

Jordan was playing for the last all-amateur US Olympic team, one which, under fiery coach Bobby Knight, won the eight matches it played by an average of 30 points.
