The Los Angeles Lakers all-time leading scorer is a shoe-in to become a first ballot Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee when eligible. Earning nearly every accolade the NBA has to offer, one of the game’s greatest scorers won five NBA championship. On the front left tail is an “adidas” manufacturer’s tag that has “CLIMACOOL” and “SIZE 4XL” on it. Attached is a flag tag that reads, “LENGTH +2””. On the manufacturer’s tag, “02-14-13” is written in black pen. Adjacent is the official NBA swatch with serial number, “LLA01618”. On the left inseam is a size “4XL2” materials tag with washing instructions and a tag that reads, “12/10 P55190 AZB001”. On the inside hanging off the rear collar is a size “4XL2” tag. On the left chest is the official “NBA” logo embroidered and on the right chest is “JB” memorial patch embroidered for late owner Jerry Buss. We believe this patch was added for reuse, but was never used. Bryant is seen playing on February 14th, 2013 without the Jerry Buss memorial patch and Buss died on February 18th, 2013. Across the chest reads, “LAKERS” in purple tackle twill with a white-stitched border. The player number “24” appears on both the front and on the back in white mesh with a purple-stitched border on gold-colored tackle twill. Across the back reads the player name, “BRYANT” in purple on white tackle twill. On the front player number “2” is a Panini Authentic hologram sticker. Bryant signed the front player number “2” in silver pen and in our opinion rates a 5 overall. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use. Accompanied by an LOA from Panini and a D.C. Sports LOA.
