"Mamba Mentality" is a worldwide phenomenon born out of the fierce competitive drive of Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant. The "Black Mamba" was among the very best players in the NBA for 20 seasons, with 18 All-Star selections proving Bryant’s global popularity, and his 25.0 points per game scoring average affirming the former Lower Merion High School phenom's talent on the hardwood. A posthumous inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the impact of Bryant's loss on the basketball world remains incalculable.
Graded PRISTINE 10 by BGS. Hall of Famer, in a hotly pursued Rookie Card appearance.

The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "068/150." A scarce and highly coveted first-year commemorative of the Lakers legend, in blazing Pristine condition.
