Offered is a basketball used during the 2013-14 Los Angeles Lakers NBA season. This ball exhibits great usage and showcases two black X's in the proximity of the team stamping--a common marking done by officials for game balls. The official "Lakers 2013-14" stamping is present below the league stamping. As noted by Sports Investors Authentication, Kobe Bryant was injured in December of 2013, and with Adam Silver basketballs not being issued league-wide until February, this basketball was not used in play by the Mamba. A bold black signature is present on the ball, however the signature has been deemed as being executed by a clubhouse attendant by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS). Ball exhibits scuffing and soiling consistent with game usage and is otherwise excellent. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity for game usage by Sports Investors Authentication.
