Vaunted Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant made the ninth All-Star appearance of his career during the 2007 NBA All-Star Game held at the Thomas & Mack Center in Paradise, Nevada on February 18th, 2007. Bryant pulled down 5 rebounds, had six assists, had six steals, and scored 31 points to earn his second All-Star MVP Award during the Western Conferences’ 152-132 rout of the Eastern Conference. The All-Star game is noted for being the first to be played in a city without an NBA franchise and the first to be played on a college campus. For Bryant, the 2002 NBA All-Star Game MVP, he moved from 11th to 10th place on the all-time All-Star Game scoring list to surpass Magic Johnson.
Presented here is a white mesh, limited-edition #98/124 2007 NBA All-Star Game jersey signed and inscribed by the 2007 NBA All-Star Game MVP, Kobe Bryant. The jersey features the three black Adidas stripes on the lateral sides of the jersey that are accented by red fabric featuring white spades, an homage to Las Vegas, the host city of the 2007 midseason classic. “WEST” with a paraph is stitched across the chest of the jersey in cursive red-on-white-on-gold tackle twill. The number “24” is located on the chest and back of the jersey in red-on-white-on-gold tackle twill. An NBA “ALL-STAR GAME” star patch featuring a NBA “Logoman” inside a gold, white, red, and blue star is affixed to the jersey’s right shoulder. An Adidas NBA AUTHENTICS “LAS VEGAS ALL STAR 2007” manufacturer’s tag with a size “52” flag is affixed to the jersey’s left front tail. An Adidas NBA AUTHENTICS tag and a size “52 100% POLYESTER MADE IN KOREA” tags are attached to the inside collar. A “LOS ANGELES LAKERS” logo is affixed to the back of the jersey, just under the collar. Four white spades adorn the back sides of the jersey, with “BRYANT” displayed in red tackle twill just below the number “24” on the back of the jersey. Bryant signed and inscribed “07 AS MVP” across the chest of the jersey with a black marker. The signature and inscription feature light elements of bleeding, and the lateral sides of the jersey display a minimal amount of bleeding at the stitch line. This limited-edition #98/124 2007 NBA All-Star Game West jersey signed and inscribed by the 2007 All-Star MVP Kobe Bryant comes with a COA from Upper Deck Authenticated (BAJ63519) for the signature.
