Kobe Bryant’s Iconic 81-Point Game Uniform: A Piece of Basketball History
A Legendary Performance
On January 22, 2006, Kobe Bryant delivered one of the most extraordinary performances in NBA history, scoring a career-high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors. This remarkable feat stands as the second-highest point total in a single game, surpassed only by Wilt Chamberlain’s legendary 100-point game. Bryant’s performance not only etched his name in the annals of basketball history but also elevated the status of the uniform he wore that night to an iconic level.
The Uniform’s Distinctive Features
The uniform in question is a testament to Bryant’s prowess on the court. It features the “Reebok” manufacturer’s tag on the front tail, accompanied by four additional tags indicating the jersey size “58,” “LENGTH +4,” “2005-2006,” and “Playdry.” The front proudly displays “LAKERS” in yellow on white tackle twill, while the player number “8” is emblazoned below and on the back in white on yellow tackle twill. The player name “BRYANT” graces the back in yellow on white tackle twill, and the official “NBA” embroidered logo adorns the left breast.

The shorts are equally significant, featuring the “REEBOK” manufacturer’s tag on the back inside waistband, with additional tags for size “46” and “PLAYDRY.” The number “8” is inscribed on the tag in black marker, and the official “NBA” embroidered logo is positioned on the upper left thigh. The uniform exhibits signs of game use, with no alterations, preserving its authenticity and historical value.
