LeBron James’ Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Greatness

An Iconic Piece of Basketball History

In the realm of basketball memorabilia, few items hold as much allure and significance as a game-worn jersey from LeBron James. This particular jersey, originally sourced from a relative of the legendary Shaquille O’Neal, is a remarkable artifact that captures the essence of LeBron’s illustrious career. As an NBA champion, Finals MVP, and a three-time NBA MVP, LeBron’s legacy is etched in the annals of basketball history.

Details of the Jersey

The jersey is a testament to LeBron’s tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he became the franchise’s all-time leading scorer. On January 16, 2013, he achieved the milestone of being the youngest player in NBA history to reach 20,000 career points. This jersey, from the 2008-2009 season, features the “Adidas” manufacturer’s tag with four attached flag tags: “50”, “Climalite”, “2008-2009”, and “+2Length”. Adjacent to this is the “Cavaliers” label, symbolizing his pivotal role in the team.

• Front Design: “CAVALIERS” in bronze on burgundy tackle twill.
• Player Number: “23” in blue tackle twill with a bronze embroidered border, appearing on both the front and back.
• Player Name: “JAMES” across the back in burgundy on bronze tackle twill.
• NBA Logo: Official logo at the left chest.

A Signature of Excellence

Adding to its allure, LeBron has signed the back number in gold marker, accompanied by the rare inscription “King James,” which rates a 6-7 in terms of clarity and preservation. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows excellent use. It is accompanied by a copy of a letter of provenance originally signed by Shaq’s relative, as well as a full LOA from JSA.

For collectors and enthusiasts, this jersey is not just a piece of fabric; it is a symbol of LeBron’s enduring impact on the game.
