In that 2006-07 season, Bryant managed to score 50 or more points in a game on 10 occasions, on his way to his second and last league scoring title.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1002%2Fr1554530_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nThe jersey is signed by Bryant with the inscriptions &#8220;FIRST 24&#8221; and &#8220;1\/1&#8221; on the numbers, and includes a hologram from Upper Deck, a company that had an autograph and memorabilia agreement with Bryant until 2009. MeiGray Authenticated also performed a photo verification of the jersey, verifying its use during the Lakers&#8217; media day in October 2006.\n\nThe highest price paid for a Bryant jersey was $7 million, for a jersey that was used in seven games of his rookie season in 1996-97. That jersey was also sold by Sotheby&#8217;s in April.\n\nWest&#8217;s jersey was specifically worn during Game 6 of the 1965 and 1966 Western Division Finals, and in Game 2 of the 1966 NBA Finals, according to photo-matching conducted by Sports Investors Authentication.\n\nThe West jersey lot also included a warm-up jacket, shorts and socks, which the auction house &#8220;also believes were game-worn.&#8221; In 1967, Frank O&#8217;Neill, a former Lakers coach, received these items when the team moved to The Forum, and they have remained in a private collection until now.\n\nA collector bought a photo-matched jersey from four games of the 1969-70 Lakers season for $868,000 in May, a record for a West item.\n\nIt was expected that the jersey Wayne Gretzky wore in his last NHL game with the New York Rangers on April 18, 1999, would sell for more than $1 million, but Sotheby&#8217;s confirmed that the bids did not reach the set reserve price and the jersey was not sold.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kobe Bryant Jersey Reaches Million-Dollar Figure at Auction The first jersey with the number 24 that Kobe Bryant wore with the Los Angeles Lakers recently sold for $889,000, including the buyer&#8217;s premium, at Sotheby&#8217;s.
