As far as tributes go to the late Kobe Bryant, this hand-painted, limited-edition #1/1 Los Angeles Lakers number “8” road jersey signed by the Hall of Famer, is hands-above as it captures the essence of Bryant in vivid detail. Bryant, who averaged 25.0 points per game and was selected to 18 consecutive All-Star Games, is shown going up for a dunk in a life-like rendering of the 5-time NBA champion on the back of the jersey. The purple mesh jersey with white and gold trim on the sleeves and collar features “LAKERS” across the chest in gold-on-white tackle twill. The number “8”, the number worn by Bryant during his first 9 seasons in the NBA, is displayed on the chest and back of the jersey in white-on-gold tackle twill. A size “XL” tag and a “POLYESTER MADE IN PHILLIPPINES” tag appear on the inside collar. “BRYANT” is displayed across the back of the jersey in gold-on-white tackle twill. Bryant’s illustrated image is bold and is intricately detailed, offering a realism seldom seen in other tributes. The four-time NBA All-Star MVP and two-time NBA scoring champion Bryant signed the number “8” on the back of the jersey with a black marker. The signature is bold, the illustration is beautiful and pops to the eye, and the jersey itself is in great condition. The hand-painted, limited-edition #1/1 Los Angeles Lakers #8 road jersey signed by the late Kobe Bryant is a fitting tribute to the man who left an indelible mark on the NBA and comes with an COA from Fatla and a LOA from PSA/DNA (B11809) for the signature.
