Description: Very fine 2003-2004 Kobe Bryant Los Angeles Lakers professional model warm up jacket (Possible NBA Playoffs Use)(Sports Investors Photomatch). Classic purple and gold knit snap front warm up jacket as worn by Kobe Bryant during the 2003-2004 Los Angeles Lakers NBA Championship season. Jacket displays its original embroidered Lakers insignia on front along with NBA patch with "Lakers" team name in gold/white tackle twill on the back. Proper Nike manufacturer's label is located within the collar area having 3XL size indicator and supplemental Lakers/NBA Authentics tagging. Vintage uniform umber "8" written in black marker within the player name/number patch of the tagging which shows appropriate age toning/fading from use and wash wear. The jacket was presented to a former NBA coach directly from Kobe Bryant and was conclusively photomatched to the Lakers games on March 17 and April 2, 2004. During those two games Bryant tallied an impressive 52 points with 10 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals. Additionally, the left sleeve displays the iconic gold embroidered NBA Finals patch which was applied in preparation for the Lakers NBA championship series against the Detroit Pistons. While not confirmed nor photomatched as such, the offered jacket was very possibly worn by Bryant during the 2004 NBA playoffs. Outstanding Kobe Bryant game worn piece with unimpeachable photomatched documentation and primary source provenance. Includes LOA from Sports Investors Authentication (Photomatch) and letter of provenance from former NBA Coach who received the jacket from Bryant.Estimated Price Range: ($15,000-$25,000)
