Displayed is a Kobe Bryant signed all-surface Spalding NBA basketball. Kobe Bryant played his entire 20-year NBA career with the Los Angeles lakers. He was the son of former NBA player Joe Bryant. Kobe, a shooting guard, helped Los Angeles to five titles. He was an 18-time All-Star, 15-time All-NBA Team, and a 12-time All-Defense team player. Bryant was the 2008 MVP, won two NBA Finals MVP Awards and took two scoring titles. He was flying in a helicopter, heading to coach his daughter's basketball team - with his daughter Gianni and six family friends - when the pilot and all the passengers were killed as the helicopter crashed. The offered basketball is made of composite leather. It has a few tiny, silver smudge-like specks on it, and a very small silver smudge - over the letter "K" in in Bryant's signature. The signature itself has flair, being large, and explosive, in black marker. The signed ball comes with a clear plastic, two-piece slide lock display (measuring 9.5" x 9.5" x 9.5"). Also included is a PSA/DNA Letter of Certification of the Kobe Bryant signature. In 2020, Bryant was posthumously elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
