Bronny James Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 Game Worn Jersey
Sotheby’s attributes this Bronny jersey to the second half of the 2024-2025 Kia NBA Tip-Off game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, however, due to a lack of media of Bronny without a warm-up jacket on, it is not possible to photomatch. 2024-2025 Kia NBA Tip-Off was Bronny’s ‘Rookie Debut’ game. "First Game 2D Half 10/22" is handwritten on the jock tag.
This jersey was worn by James and photomatched to the following games:
October 18, 2024, during the NBA preseason, when the Lakers played the Golden State Warriors. James finished with 17 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals, and 1 block. The Lakers lost to the Warriors, 132-74.
October 17, 2024, during the NBA preseason, when the Lakers played the Phoenix Suns. James finished with 4 points and 2 rebounds. The Lakers beat the Suns, 128-122.
October 10, 2024, during the NBA preseason, when the Lakers played the Milwaukee Bucks. James did not record any stats in this game. The Lakers beat the Bucks, 107-102.
October 4, 2024, during the NBA preseason, when the Lakers played the Minnesota Timberwolves. James finished with 2 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 3 blocks. The Lakers lost to the Timberwolves, 124-107.
James also wore this jersey during NBA Media Day on September 30, 2024, where he was pictured alongside his father, LeBron.
With 4:00 minutes left in the 1st half, LeBron James checked into the game with his son Bronny James. The crowd rose to its feet, sensing this moment may never be seen again in American sports history. For the first time in NBA history, a father-son duo took the court together. This accomplishment is a testament to the hard work LeBron puts in to keep his body in peak shape to continue playing at the highest level. Bronny, to his credit, had to overcome a lot after suffering a cardiac arrest before his freshman season at USC. He worked his way back to full strength, eventually earning minutes as a freshman and then being drafted by the Lakers in the 2nd round of the 2024 NBA Draft.
Going Deeper - LeBron James
The conversation regarding the greatest basketball player of all time may forever continue to be up for debate, but one thing is for sure, LeBron James will always be a part of the discussion. Now in his 22nd season in the NBA, James’ resume puts him on many NBA fans' Mount Rushmore.
LeBron’s legacy began in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. As a high school phenom at St. Vincent - St. Mary, LeBron, and his teammates, dubbed the 'Fab Five', led the school to three state championships in four years.
During his high school career, LeBron garnered national attention, appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a high school junior in 2002 with the headline 'The Chosen One,' and achieving honors such as the Gatorade Player of the Year in 2002, and the McDonald’s All-American MVP in 2003.
At 18 years old, LeBron James was selected first overall in the 2003 NBA draft, directly from high school, by his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers. Immediately making an impact upon entering the league, LeBron became the first player in franchise history and the youngest player in NBA history to win the Rookie of the Year award, at 19 years old.
At the time of cataloging James has career averages of 27.1 points per game, 7.5 rebounds per game, and 7.4 assists per game. James is a 20-time All-Star, 4-time MVP, 4-time Finals MVP, 2004 Rookie of the Year, 13-time All-NBA 1st team member, 3-time All-NBA Second Team member, 4-time All-NBA Third Team member, 5-time All-Defensive First Team member, and a member of the 75th anniversary team. The NBA 75th Anniversary Team was selected by a blue-ribbon panel of players, coaches, general managers, and sportswriters who voted on the 75 Greatest Players in NBA History. Only 11 active players were selected for the team including LeBron James.
In his first seven seasons in the NBA, James led the Cavaliers to 50 or more wins on four separate occasions, including a franchise record 66-win season in 2008-2009, collected two league MVPs, and led the Cavaliers to their first trip to the NBA Finals in 2007. However, LeBron and the Cavaliers would fail to bring a championship to Cleveland that year.
The NBA’s all-time leading scorer, LeBron James is recognized as one of the greatest players in the history of professional basketball. Debuting with the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was the first overall pick of the 2003 NBA draft. James’ move from his first NBA team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, to the Miami Heat in 2010 is considered one of the boldest free-agent decisions in sports history. After winning two NBA championships in 2012 and 2013 for the Miami Heat, James returned to Cleveland. In 2016 he led the Cavaliers to their first NBA Championship, ending the city’s 52-year-long professional sports title drought. After his 2020 Championship with the Los Angeles Lakers, he became the only player to win the NBA Finals MVP with three different teams. He won his 3rd Gold Medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics as the captain of USA basketball, where the squad went undefeated.
