2007 Kobe Bryant Team USA FIBA Americas Championship Blue Vs. White Intrasquad Game-Used & Autographed Blue Jersey

Kobe Bryant’s Intrasquad Game Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History

An Iconic Moment in U.S. Basketball

In 2007, the United States hosted and triumphed in the FIBA Americas Championship in Las Vegas, a tournament that marked a significant chapter in basketball history. Leading the charge was the legendary Kobe Bryant, whose presence on the court was nothing short of electrifying. Prior to the tournament, the American team engaged in intense intrasquad games to hone their skills and strategies. It is from these preparatory matches that the offered jersey, worn by Kobe Bryant, originates.

Details of the Jersey

This remarkable jersey is a testament to Kobe Bryant’s unparalleled contribution to the sport. The front left tail features the Nike manufacturer’s tag with a size “54” and an attached flag tag reading “LENGTH +4”. The left inseam carries a flag tag with jersey materials and an additional inventory flag tag. The rear neck showcases a screen-printed Nike logo, accompanied by a gold inscription that reads “Honoring USA Basketball Legends THE ORIGINAL DREAM TEAM ‘60”, along with the final scores from the Americans’ gold medal run at the 1960 Olympics held in Rome.

• Front Design: The chest proudly displays “U.S.A.”, with the player number “10” below and on the back.
• Back Design: The player name “BRYANT” is emblazoned across the back, with all numbering and lettering crafted in silver on red tackle twill.
• Additional Features: A “USA BASKETBALL” patch is positioned below the collar on the back.

A Signature of Excellence

Adding to the jersey’s allure, Kobe Bryant has signed the back of the jersey inside the player number “0” in black ink.
