The Los Angeles Lakers all-time leading scorer Kobe Bryant is a shoe-in to become a first ballot Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee when eligible. Earning nearly every accolade the NBA has to offer, one of the game’s greatest scorers won five NBA championships. An 18-time All-Star, trailing only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most all-time All-Star appearances, Kobe wore these sneakers during the 2013 NBA All-Star Game in Houston. Kobe recorded 9 points and provided some vintage lock down defense against LeBron James towards the end of the game in a 143-138 Western Conference victory over the East. Nike manufactured size “14” orange promo sample sneakers with white and green trim. Bryant signed the back of both sneakers with one of them inscribed “To Henry” in black ink and in our opinion the signatures rate a combined 8. These sneakers are properly tagged, were presented to us as game-used in the 2013 All-Star Game and show use. Accompanied by a Full LOA from JSA and an additional LOA from the recipient of the sneakers who details how Kobe gifted him these following the game.
