LeBron James’ High School Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History

An Iconic Beginning

LeBron James, a name synonymous with basketball greatness, began his illustrious journey at St. Vincent – St. Mary High School in Ohio. During his high school years, he was named Ohio’s “Mr. Basketball” three times, a testament to his prodigious talent and potential. At just 18, he was selected as the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers, marking the start of a legendary career.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This remarkable jersey is a vivid reminder of LeBron’s early days. On the front left tail, it features the “ONSPORTS” manufacturer’s tag, size “XXL,” complete with wash instructions. A poignant American Flag ribbon patch adorns the upper left chest, worn in remembrance of 9/11, adding a layer of historical significance.

• Team Representation: Across the chest, the jersey proudly displays “IRISH,” symbolizing the Fighting Irish spirit.
• Number and Lettering: The iconic player number “23” appears on both the front and back, screen printed in green on white.
• Team Logo: At the front V-neck, the team’s “Fighting Irish” logo is prominently screen printed.

The green jersey is tagged similarly, with alternating colors, enhancing its visual appeal. These jerseys are properly tagged, were presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use.
