  • The proceeds from the auction directly benefited the Garden of Dreams Foundation, marking the largest single donation in the organization's history.
  • These exclusive seats, located in section VIP 10, row AA, directly off center court, are typically reserved for celebrity guests and are not available for general purchase.
  • The high auction price underscores the extreme demand for NBA Finals tickets , with other seats in the arena selling for thousands of dollars on secondary markets.
