A uniform worn by NBA legend Kobe Bryant during his lifetime was sold at an auction for $5,849,700 (approximately 7.4 billion won).

ESPN of the United States reported on the 10th (Korean time), “A signed jersey worn by Bryant during the 2007-08 season, when he was named MVP, was sold for $5,849,700 at a Sotheby’s New York auction.” According to ESPN, the winning bid is the highest auction price related to Bryant. It is the second most expensive auction price ever for a basketball jersey. 카지노

Bryant, who debuted with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996, is a legend who has won 5 league championships, 2 championship MVPs, 1 regular league MVP, 18 All-Stars, and 4 All-Star MVPs until his retirement in 2016. He played for the Los Angeles Lakers until the end. Bryant died in January 2020 when the helicopter he was riding in crashed over California. At the time, he was 42 years old.

Bryant’s jersey sold at this auction is the only NBA legend he was selected as the league’s MVP. He was also inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021. It was worn during the 2007-08 season. He played in this uniform in 25 of his 82 games, including playoffs and conference finals.

The record for the highest auction price of a basketball jersey ever was the one worn by Michael Jordan, the ‘basketball emperor’, in the first leg of the 1998 championship game in September of last year. At the time, it was sold for 10.1 million dollars (approximately 12.7 billion won). This is also the highest-ever record among sports-related auctions excluding sports cards.

ESPN said, “It’s not uncommon for sports-related auctions to exceed $5 million, excluding sports cards.” In July, Muhammad Ali’s championship belt sold for $6.18 million.”
