Kobe Bryant’s debut jersey sells for $7 million

The jersey Kobe Bryant wore in his NBA debut sold for $7 million in auction on Thursday.

Axar.az reports, citing CNN, per auction house Sotheby’s, the sale sets a record for any memorabilia tied to the Los Angeles Lakers legend, who died in a helicopter crash in 2020 along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others.

The $7 million figure surpasses the previous record of $5.85 million paid for Bryant’s signed, game-worn jersey from the 2007-08 season in which he won his only NBA Most Valuable Player award.

Sotheby’s said that the jersey has been photo-matched to Bryant’s debut season in the NBA in 1996-97.

A then-18-year-old Bryant wore the famous yellow jersey with the No. 8 during his first media day, his preseason debut and his regular season debut on November 3, 1996, as well as in four other games.
