The future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant wore this yellow Los Angeles Lakers home jersey during the 2000-01 NBA season. The 22-year old Bryant had an exceptional season in 2000-01, scoring 28.5 points with 5.9 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game as he led the Lakers to their second of three consecutive NBA titles. Los Angeles defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in a five-game Finals, with the Lower Merion High School standout averaging 24.6/7.8/5.8 per contest. This offered Los Angeles jersey has “LAKERS” sewn on the chest in purple and white tackle twill. Bryant’s number “8” is sewn on the chest and back in white and purple tackle twill. “BRYANT” is sewn across the back shoulders in purple and white tackle twill. Custom tailoring for Bryant is present inside the sides of this jersey. A Nike size “50” tag with an attached “Length +4” flag is sewn on the front left tail.
