After splitting the first two games of the 2020 Western Conference Semi-Finals in the Orlando Bubble at Disney World, the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets played a pivotal Game 3 on September 8th, 2020. Led by the scoring of LeBron James (36 points) and the double-double of Anthony Davis (26 points & 15 rebounds), the Lakers pulled away for a 112-102 victory to take hold of the series. Los Angeles would continue to build off the key Game 3 victory by winning the next two games to advance and would ultimately capture the franchise’s 17th NBA title – matching the Boston Celtics for the all-time lead.
Wearing this white Nike Lakers’ playoff jersey, Davis recorded his double-double in victory. This jersey has been photo matched by Sports Investors Authentication to Game 3 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals played on September 8th, 2020. “LAKERS” is sewn on in purple and yellow tackle twill across the chest with Davis’ number “3” sewn on in below in purple mesh on yellow tackle twill. The Nike swoosh is sewn on in purple tackle twill on the upper right chest with a black circle with “KB” sewn on above in memory of Kobe Bryant, while the “WISH” sponsor logo is on the upper left chest and a black band is across the shoulder strap honoring former NBA commissioner David Stern.
The front left tail has the Nike NBA AUTHENTICS size 54 tag with a “LENGTH +6” flag attached, along with an “EVERY PLAYER. EVERY GAME LALW 01707” identification tag to the left of the Nike tag. The open sleeves and collar are bordered with white, purple and yellow stripes with the back collar having a purple stripe with a gold “16” patch. Davis’ number “3” is sewn on the back in the same material as is on the front – purple mesh on a yellow block tackle twill backing. The NBA logo patch is sewn on above the number and “DAVIS” is sewn on below the number in purple tackle twill. The jersey displays moderate use and is a great gamer from one of the Lakers next big stars in a legacy full of legendary players. This comes with a LOA from Sports Investors Authentication (210111B1), who have photo matched this jersey to Game 3 of the Western Conference Semi-Final game played on September 8th, 2020.
