Kobe Bryant's Mom is Auctioning Off His Stuff

Interested in a game-worn Kobe Bryant jersey from his time at Lower Merion? Pamela Bryant has you covered.

It's common for parents to clear their kids stuff out of the house after the nest has been emptied. Childhood bedrooms, become studies; game rooms become amateur art galleries. It's a little less common though when the kid in question is Kobe Bryant.

According to NBCSports.com, Goldin Auctions, in partnership with Kobe's mom, Pamela Bryant, will be auctioning off a few choice pieces of Kobe memorabilia in June, several of which go back to his days at Lower Merion High School.

The item expected to generate the most interest, according to Goldin's website, is a game-worn jersey from Bryant's Aces career.

The centerpiece of the Kobe Bryant Collection: presented by Goldin Auctions is his road maroon Lower Merion High School (LMHS) basketball uniform (shorts and jersey) from his freshmen year. This uniform is special in that Bryant only wore #24, as a freshman, before switching to #33 for the remainder of his high school career. It is believed to be the only authentic game worn #24 Kobe Bryant LMHS jersey in existence.

The auction is scheduled for June, but a specific date has not yet been set. Kobe-philes can register for the auction, or peruse the additional available items, here.
