2014-15 Kobe Bryant Game Used and Signed Los Angeles Lakers #24 Gold Home Jersey Photo Matched To 12/5/14 - 22 Pt. Game At Boston (MeiGray & Panini)


Anytime the Boston Celtics meet the Los Angeles Lakers on the court you know you are in for a good game. Since the days of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson the two clubs have fought tooth and nail to prove which franchise was superior. That rivalry carried into the 21st century and the December 5, 2014 game at Boston’s TD Garden was no exception. Though the game didn’t turn out well for LA, it wasn’t for lack of effort on Kobe Bryant’s part. The Lakers superstar scored 22 points against Boston but it just wasn’t enough to change the 113-96 outcome for the Lakers.


Worn during his 22-point game, Kobe’s yellow mesh jersey worn on the road has “LAKERS” across the chest and Kobe’s number “24” below in white mesh with purple stitching on yellow tackle twill. The sides have purple and white striping and the collar and arm openings are trimmed in purple. The lower left front tail has the numbered NBA label adjacent to the size 4XL Adidas label on which the date “12-5-14” has been handwritten in black marker. A 4XL4 hang tag is sewn in the collar along with a white strip tag printed with “05/14 F96233 AZB 012.” The back of the jersey features “BRYANT” above his number in purple and white tackle twill with his number “24” sewn on below in white mesh with purple stitching on yellow tackle twill. The Lakers legend has completed this photo matched gamer with a bold signature on the front in black marker with the inscription, “12-5-14 vs Celtics 22 Pts.” This jersey comes with a COA from Panini for the signature and a LOA from the MeiGray Group (LLA02786) for the game use and photo matching.
