2001-02 LeBron James St. Vincent-St. Mary’s Irish High School Game-Used Home Jersey

The Legendary LeBron James High School Jersey

A Glimpse into the Early Days of “King James”

Before LeBron James became a household name in the NBA, he was already a rising star at St. Vincent – St. Mary High School. Nicknamed “King James,” LeBron was a sensation, capturing the national media’s attention and being heralded as a future NBA icon. His high school career was marked by extraordinary achievements, including being named Ohio’s “Mr. Basketball” three times. At just 18 years old, LeBron was selected as the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and he signed an unprecedented $90 million shoe contract with Nike even before making his NBA debut.

The Iconic High School Jersey

This remarkable jersey from LeBron’s high school days is a testament to his early promise and talent. The jersey features the “ONSPORTS” manufacturer’s tag on the left front tail, complete with wash instructions and the jersey size “XXL.” Across the front, the word “IRISH” is emblazoned, with the player number “23” prominently displayed on both the front and back. All numbers and letters are heat transferred in green with white borders, capturing the essence of the St. Vincent – St. Mary team colors.

• Team Logo: The front V-neck proudly displays the “Fighting Irish” logo, also heat transferred.
• Commemorative Ribbon: An American Flag embroidered ribbon on the left chest honors the memory of 9/11.
• Condition: The jersey is properly tagged, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, shows light use.
