This lot offers a Kobe Bryant Los Angeles Lakers limited edition commemorative retirement jersey with a special display box. Bryant had arguably the most iconic send-off in professional sports history on April 13, 2016, when he played his final game against the Utah Jazz and dropped a miraculous 60-points to lead the Lakers to the last win that Kobe would ever play in. This “Black Mamba” themed jersey features a snakeskin pattern rather than the normal mesh of the jersey and includes Kobe Bryant accolade patches running down the left and right panels. Accolade patches include 30,000 career points, 81 point game, 18x All-Star, 5x NBA Champ, 20 Lakers seasons, 2x Finals MVP, 6,000 assists, Captain, All-Time Lakers leading scorer, ‘97 Slam Dunk Champion, NBA All-Star MVP, & finally 12x All-Defensive team. An amazing list of accolades from one of the fiercest competitors the sport has ever seen. All patches are unique in design. The main patch above the NBA Adidas jock tag reads “Commemorative Lakers Jersey” along with some other text. The original nbastore.com tagging is still intact with an original price of $824.80, commemorating Kobe’s numbers. The limited edition box is topped with a gold-colored plaque with “Los Angeles Lakers” and “April 13, 2016” recognizing the date of Kobe’s last game. The inside has a plaque as well numbered “51 of 248” along with an Adidas and NBA logo.
