Spring 2020 Premium Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/20/2020
Oregon Ducks gamebreaker Sabrina Ionescu signed this University of Oregon green basketball jersey, with an inscription to her mentor and friend Kobe Bryant. Ionescu, a four-year starter at Oregon, is the only player in Division I basketball history with 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, and 1,000 assists. Perhaps no player in college basketball exhibited the “Mamba Mentality” more than Ionescu, who cultivated a deep friendship with a kindred spirit in Bryant during the final two years of his life. Ionescu has signed the “0” digit on the back of this jersey in black marker, inscribing “To: Kobe” above her signature. The jersey is displayed in a 32 x 42-inch frame along with a photograph of Ionescu with Kobe and Gianna Bryant, as well as a second photograph of Ionescu handling the rock for the Ducks. This jersey comes with LOAs from PSA/DNA (AH51060) and Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication.
