The Iconic Kobe Bryant Los Angeles Lakers Jersey
A Testament to Basketball Greatness
In the pantheon of basketball legends, few names resonate as profoundly as Kobe Bryant. As the all-time leading scorer for the Los Angeles Lakers, Bryant’s legacy is etched in the annals of NBA history. This remarkable jersey, a relic from one of the most storied careers in sports, is a testament to his indomitable spirit and unparalleled skill on the court.
Details of the Jersey
This extraordinary piece of basketball memorabilia is adorned with meticulous details that speak to its authenticity and historical significance. The front left tail features an “adidas” manufacturer’s tag, proudly displaying “CLIMACOOL” and “SIZE 4XL.” A flag tag attached reads “LENGTH +2,” and the manufacturer’s tag bears the inscription “02-14-13” in black pen. Adjacent to this is the official NBA swatch with the serial number “LLA01618.”

The left chest proudly displays the official “NBA” logo, while the right chest features the “JB” memorial patch, a tribute to the late owner Jerry Buss. Although this patch was added for reuse, it was never used, as Bryant played on February 14th, 2013, without it. Buss passed away on February 18th, 2013, adding a poignant layer to this jersey’s story.
Design and Significance
Across the chest, “LAKERS” is emblazoned in purple tackle twill with a white-stitched border, a symbol of the team’s storied legacy. The player number “24” graces both the front and back in white mesh with a purple-stitched border on gold-colored tackle twill. The back proudly reads “BRYANT” in purple on white tackle twill, a name synonymous with excellence and determination.
On the front player number “2,” a Panini Authentic hologram sticker is affixed, further attesting to its authenticity.
