Purple is the color of royalty, and it's certainly appropriate in this case. He averaged just one-tenth of a point short of twenty per game. "Lakers 8" fills chest, with "Bryant 8" on verso. Use is good. Tail tagging is "Nike [size] 50, Los Angeles Lakers, Length +4." This guy is often mentioned in the same breath with guys like Michael Jordan, and it's certainly very possible that Bryant will end his career with a spot in the Hall of Fame. In short, this jersey will never be any cheaper than it is today. A great investment. LOA is from top game worn memorabilia expert Lou Lampson.
