One of the greatest basketball players of his generation, 2021 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Kobe Bryant was a force of nature on the court, making his presence known to the league when he won the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest, announcing the commencement of the "Era of Bryant." Bryant would spend all of his 20 seasons in the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers, where the 18-time All-Star would win five NBA titles, two NBA Scoring titles, the 2008 NBA MVP award, and be named to nine NBA All-Defensive teams, inviting debate between basketball fans of whether he or Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player of all time.
Presented is a white authentic game model Los Angeles Lakers 24 jersey signed by Kobe Bryant on the "2" in silver felt tip marker. Bryant has added the inscription "CARPE DIEM" on the number "4" in the same marker. The jersey is housed in an Upper Deck "KOBE BRYANT JERSEY ARCHIVES" 20 1/2 x 18 1/2-inch shadow box. The book-like display case features silver stamped text on the cover and spine. The inside cover displays an image of Bryant in action as he goes for a dunk, as well as a quote from the swingman about the story behind the number 24 in his own words. It also features a "KB 24 Carpe Diem logo" and Kobe's famous quote, known as "The Truth," written in Latin. The jersey is in good condition with a generally uncirculated manner of appearance. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "10/24." It comes with a sticker from Upper Deck Authenticated (BAJ83323) for the signature. It's possible that the UDA COA is in the box but I do not want to open it.
