Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA. Hall of Famer. Kobe Bryant has signed this elite Panini Prizm Autographs card in vibrant bold blue ink. One of the most iconic and beloved players in National Basketball Association if not all of sports history, Kobe Bryant’s legendary accomplishments cement him as one of the greatest professional sports athletes of all-time. Direct from Lower Marion High School in Philadelphia to the NBA in the 1996 Draft, his career spanned 20 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers and included winning 5 NBA Championships, 18 All-Star Game appearances, the 2008 NBA Most Valuable Player Award and many other awards and accolades. The Lakers all-time leading scorer and among the career NBA leaders in numerous statistical categories, the Black Mamba’s fierce competitiveness, tireless work ethic and ability to perform in clutch situations were legendary. Admired on and off the basketball court, his tragic death in early 2020 further cemented his iconic legacy and he was posthumously inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021. A statement on the card’s back by Panini attests to the authenticity of the signature, and serves as the item’s COA. Gem Mint condition.
