Kobe Bryant rose to national prominence in 1996 when he became the first guard in league history to be drafted out of high school. Bryant and then-teammate Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. Bryant has become the cornerstone of the Lakers' franchise, and was the NBA leading scorer during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons. On the front tail is the "Nike" manufacturers size 48 tag. Attached is an additional manufacturers tag with "LENGTH +4 Made in USA" on it. In the inside left seam are two additional tags which read "1999-2000" and "Made in USA." Across the front is "LAKERS" in gold on white tackle twill. Below that and on the back is the player number "8" in white on gold tackle twill. Across the back is the player name "BRYANT" in gold on white tackle twill. On the left breast is the official "NBA" embroidered logo. This jersey is made out of the "Nike" Dri-Fit material. On the left shoulder is the black armband worn for the death of former Laker, Wilt Chamberlain. The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. An additional LOA will be provided.
