At his first Olympic Games in Beijing, the late Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant scored 20 points with 17 coming in the final quarter to help defeat Spain for the Gold medal as a member of the "Redeem Team". This blue and white reversible practice jersey was sourced directly from Bryant’s personal bodyguard who accompanied him at the Olympic Games. On the front left tail is the Nike manufacturer’s tag size “2XL” with an attached flag tag reading “LENGTH +2”. On the upper left chest is a “USA BASKETBALL” logo and on the upper right chest is a Nike swoosh logo. Across the chest reads “USA”. The player number “10” appears on the front and back of both sides of the jersey. Bryant signed the front of the blue side in silver marker and in our opinion the signature rates a 6. This jersey is accompanied by game tickets from the Olympic Games as well as Kobe’s bodyguard’s staff pass and an LOA from him. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as player-worn and shows wear. Also accompanied by a Photo-Match.com LOA confirming the match and a Full JSA LOA.
