Almost as if the basketball gods knew that we needed something to fill the void left by the final retirement of Michael Jordan, they delivered to the NBA the greatest high school basketball phenom in history, who seems destined to carve a similar legacy for himself in the professional ranks as well. Since making his way into the league, LeBron James has done nothing but impress at an elite level. Offered here is a white mesh home jersey from King James' rookie year with the Cavaliers. The Reebok jersey has appropriate "50 + 2LB" and "2003-2004" tags next to the manufacturer's label on the outside tail. Graded A5 by MEARS and accompanied by their Letter of Authenticity, the item matches exemplars from James' rookie year with identical tagging, measurements and photo matches and minimal game wear. With Michael Jordan rookies having realized as much as $45,000 at auction in recent years, the offered lot may well be the smartest investment piece in our exclusive auction.
