The Los Angeles Lakers were looking for a three-peat when they faced the New Jersey Nets in the 2001-2002 NBA Finals. Kobe Bryant, along with co-captain Shaquille O’Neal, had already won two consecutive championships together and had dispatched The Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, and Sacramento Kings en route to facing the Nets in the Finals. The Lakers swept the Nets in four games, earning the second three-peat in franchise history.

Presented here is a 16 x 20 framed to 20 x 24-inch signed photograph of Kobe Bryant from the 2002 NBA Finals. The limited-edition, number 24 (Kobe’s number) out of 50 photograph features Bryant hard-charging the net mid-dunk over a Nets defender and Hall of Fame member Jason Kidd looks on. The photo is ensconced in a white frame and is gently seated on a white matte with purple trim. Bryant signed the limited-edition photograph above himself dunking with a black marker. The framed photograph is in pristine condition and comes with an LOA from Upper Deck Authentication (BAH87949). The item comes with the Upper Deck PenCam DVD which is pretty unique as the owner can actually see the item being signed through a pen video and not all Upper Deck items have a PenCam DVD.
