Kobe Bryant’s Iconic Game-Used Lakers Jersey
A Legendary Piece of Basketball History
In the realm of basketball memorabilia, few items evoke as much reverence and admiration as a game-used jersey from one of the sport’s most iconic figures, Kobe Bryant. This particular jersey, worn during the 2004-2005 NBA season, is a testament to Bryant’s enduring legacy and the indelible mark he left on the game.
Exquisite Craftsmanship and Design
The jersey features the Reebok manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, accompanied by four hanging flag tags indicating the jersey size “56,” “LENGTH +4,” “PLAYDRY,” and “2004-2005.” The upper left chest proudly displays the official “NBA” logo, embroidered with precision. Across the chest, the word “LAKERS” is emblazoned, while the back bears the legendary name “BRYANT.” Both are rendered in gold on white tackle twill, a striking contrast that captures the essence of the Los Angeles Lakers’ storied franchise.
Signature and Authenticity
The player number “8” graces both the front and back of the jersey, crafted in white on gold tackle twill. Adding to its allure, Kobe Bryant himself signed the back of the jersey inside the player number in silver marker. In our expert opinion, the signature rates an impressive 8, further enhancing the jersey’s value and desirability. Adjacent to the back player number is an NBA hologram with the serial number “LL19674,” ensuring its authenticity and connection to the legendary player.
