One of the rare and signed jerseys of American basketball legend Kobe Bryant, bearing the logo of the NBA Finals, was sold at auction for $1.8 million.
According to Bleacher Report, this number eight jersey is from the 2003-2004 Los Angeles Lakers season, which Bryant wore in 17 games that season and eight playoff games.
The Lakers won 16 of the 17 games Bryant wore this jersey and won all eight playoff games.
D'Rells Auctions announced that this is Bryant's first No. 8 jersey from the Lakers' championship era and the only jersey with that number and the NBA Finals logo ever offered for sale.
This jersey belongs to the season that Bryant later described as the beginning of the formation of the famous "Black Mamba" persona.
The Los Angeles Lakers sold the jersey after Bryant's jersey number was retired in 2017, and it had only one owner until the recent auction.
