The Los Angeles Lakers all-time leading scorer and late Kobe Bryant will become a first ballot Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee. Earning nearly every accolade the NBA has to offer, one of the game’s greatest scorers won five NBA championships. Kobe wore this uniform on March 6th, 2016 in what would ultimately be his final game against the Golden State Warriors, who went on to an NBA record setting 73-9 season. The Lakers defeated the Warriors 112-95 and handed them one of their 9 losses. On the front left tail is the Adidas manufacturer's tag size “4XL”. Attached is a flag tag reading “LENGTH +4”. Adjacent to the left is a NBA Authentics tag serial number “LLA03343”. On the left inseam are two flag tags, one with jersey materials and washing instructions and an additional Adidas tag. Further up the left inseam is a black microphone pocket. In the rear collar is a hanging flag tag reading, “MADE IN THAILAND 4XL4” and a gold tag with the Larry O’Brien Trophy and “16x” visible on the front and back. Across the chest is "LAKERS" in purple on gold tackle twill. The player number “24” appears below and on the back in purple mesh on gold on white tackle twill. Across the back is the player name “BRYANT” in purple on gold tackle twill. Above the player name is the official “NBA” logo. Bryant signed the front of the jersey in black marker and in our opinion the signature rates a 9. In the rear waistband of the shorts is the Adidas manufacturers tag size “3XL” with an attached flag tag reading “LENGTH +2””. Handwritten on this tag in the player ID area is the player number “24” in black marker and attached is a flag tag with shorts materials and washing instructions. This uniform is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use. Accompanied by two Photo-Match.com LOAs confirming the match and grading the jersey a perfect 10 and a DC Sports LOA.
