"We still are so early and not only the game-worn but the collectible ecosystem era! The majority of people have no idea how truly and incredibly rare this is and how unlikely it is that many, if any, other gold #8 jerseys will publicly come to market again in the near future."

Kobe is always associated as a disciple of MJ, but he actually took most of his inspiration from James Worthy (according to Metta World Peace).
Both were from the Dean Smith family tree… so maybe Dean gets the ultimate credit?

The Black Mamba was always a student of the game. 🐍🏀
@MettaWorld37 at our booth at ASCC in Macau and reflected on a young Kobe Bryant, recalling how Kobe told him he drew much of his game from Lakers legend James Worthy, while also sharing stories about his relationship with Michael Jordan.
A rare look into Kobe’s early years, the legends who influenced him, and the mindset that helped shape his legacy.

One of the greatest press conferences of all time (with his family all around)
Legendary convo with @MettaWorld37

It's so fun hearing arguably the greatest defensive player of the era @MettaWorld37 talk about guarding Kobe
The mutual respect amongst these greats was always there, even when they were rivals, and it was so cool seeing them come together to win a championship 🏆

17 games. 16 wins. An undefeated playoff run and three Western Conference series-clinching victories on the road to the 2004 NBA Finals.
We're proud to have worked with @MeiGray to help preserve the legacy of this historic Kobe Bryant jersey through extensive photo-matching research.
A rare piece of Kobe's No. 8 era, with a story that deserves to be told.

Kobe’s best performances while wearing this exact jersey in 2004.
🧵A Thread:
A behind-the-scenes look at a Kobe Bryant game-worn and signed jersey from 2004.
Kobe wore this jersey for 17 games across the ‘03-‘04 season, going 16-1.
He went 8-0 while wearing it in the playoffs and clinched every western conference series in this jersey.
It’s now live on auction with @THEREALESTCOM until November 8th.
472 points, 85 rebounds, 94 assists, 33 steals, and 11 blocks while wearing it.
Truly one of the most special pieces of Mamba memorabilia to ever come to market. 🐍
So many people don’t get the easiest key to success is putting in the work! So many just expect everything to come to them!

So much fun looking through old Kobe highlights... April 13, 2004:
45 PTS. 7 REB. 8 AST. 2 STL. 2 BLK.
• Season-high 45 points vs. Golden State
• Erased a 16-point deficit
• 16 points in the 4th quarter
• Scored LA's final 7 points
• Just two days after scoring only 8 against Sacramento and being called out
• Pulled the Lakers into a tie with the Kings for the Pacific Division lead with one game remaining

Is it the best time ever to be a sneakerhead? I think it might be because, for the first time, everything is available, and everything is affordable.
Most of the grifters are out of the market, and it's becoming fun.
Not going to lie, I was burned out on stuff for a minute and it was so corny when everyone was trying to get in (Tim Cook and every tech exec in Travis lows ended it for me ha), but now I'm back in it, especially now with Nike and Jordan limiting some of the releases and getting back to quality and storytelling (hopefully).
In any market, when it becomes all about money, that's where bubbles happen. Now everyone left is in it is doing it for the love and it's not just about the latest overhyped collab that turned us into 🐑
The Realest presents the nets from AJ Dybantsa's debut and first bucket.... The really cool thing about these is I believe they're the first nets ever to hit the market with the new NBA patches on them (last years had ECF/WCF/Finals, not solo NBA logo)
