The Box Score in a Kobe Bryant Lakers Jersey: 472 Points, and Now a Price in the Millions
A single Los Angeles Lakers jersey from the 2003-04 season is going to auction, and its value comes with a record of exactly what happened while Kobe Bryant had it on. Wearing it, he scored 472 points and added 85 rebounds, 94 assists, 33 steals and 11 blocks. Those numbers fill out every column of a stat sheet, which is a fair way to describe the player who wore it. Bryant won five NBA championships, and this jersey is one piece of that record that a person can actually own. The estimate runs into the millions, so it will be priced like fine art. To a serious collector, that's what it is. Down here, Miami will talk about it the loudest, Palm Beach will ask about its condition, and Naples will quietly check the provenance and register to bid. All three know a jersey like this is valued for the work that was done in it.
