Offered here for your bidding pleasure is a Los Angeles Lakers 1996-97 basketball jersey, personally game worn by basketball megastar Kobe Bryant during his rookie season in Los Angeles. One of the very few surviving pieces of rookie gear for Kobe (most ended up being sliced up and put on trading cards), this jersey features the special NBA 50th anniversary gold league logo along the left shoulder area. The base of the jersey features two tags, including a Lakers team tag that reads, "Designed & Tailored Exclusively for Los Angeles Lakers 96/97, +2 body length" and a Champion size tagging ("46”). The jersey exhibits nice usage including fraying to the inner tagging and stands in overall fine game used condition. Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from L.A. Lakers game used equipment authority DC Sports and Grey Flannel.
