WATCH: Game-worn Kobe Bryant jersey sells for $2.735 million
Apr. 26, 2024 – 01:41 – Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant delivered so many unforgettable memories during his Hall of Fame career. Now, a game-worn jersey from one of his first NBA playoff games will likely do down as one of the biggest jersey sales ever.
A five-time NBA champion, Bryant made his playoff debut on April 25, 1997, against the Portland Trail Blazers. He only played 46 seconds in that matchup and scored two points. He would later score 22 points in his third playoff game then scored 19 points on May 8, 1997 after hitting 13-of-14 free throws against the Utah Jazz in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
