Many an artist has labored in obscurity, creating visionary paintings and incisive literature for their whole lives, only to be forgotten until their deaths. But for an athlete like Kobe Bryant, fame and fortune followed on both sides of the veil: An 18-time All Star player, he set many NBA basketball records in his 20-year career before his untimely death in 2020.
Today, Bryant is remembered all the more fondly for the amazing accomplishments of his career. And like any legend, everything he touched has a particular magic to it—like this 2007-2008 worn and signed LA Lakers jersey, worn in 25 games and during the presentation of his MVP trophy. Offered by Sotheby’s auction house, it is expected to fetch a price between five and seven million dollars.
