Kobe Bryant was the youngest player in Laker history (18 years old in his first game) as well as the youngest player to be selected to the Western Conference All-Star team. Five years later, he entered the 2000-01 NBA Finals as arguably the game's most dangerous player. On the left front tail of the jersey is the "Los Angeles Lakers" label and next to this is the "Nike" label and size "50." Adjacent is the "NBA Authentics" label. Below the Nike label is the "Length +4" label. On the inside left tail is the wash tag and under this is the year tag "2000-01." Across the front of the jersey is the name "Lakers" and on the back is the name "Bryant." The letters are made of purple on white tackle twill. The player number "8" appears on both the front and back of the jersey. The numbers are made of white on purple tackle twill. On the upper left front is the "NBA" patch and on the front number is an autograph. The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
