Item Description

Kobe was THE MAN for the Lakers right out of High School. In 1996, he made his NBA debut at the age of 18 years, 2 months and 11 days to become the youngest player ever to appear in an NBA game (at that time). In 1998 he became the youngest All-Star in NBA history (again at that time), posting 18 points and 6 rebounds in the game. That was just the start of the good things to come. 2005/2006 was perhaps Kobe's best statistical season as he led the League in scoring with a 35.4 ppg average. And On January 22 of that season, Kobe scored an amazing 81 points, the second highest single game point total in NBA history behind only Wilt Chamberlain. In 2006/07 he again led the league in scoring (31.6 ppg) and finished the year with a staggering ten 50+ point games becoming the only player other than...yes, Wilt Chamberlain...to do it in one season. Oh, and did you catch the final game of his career? How 'bout 60 points and the game-winning basket? Amazing!! An 18x All-Star, 11x All-NBA First Team, 2x NBA MVP and 5x NBA Champ, Kobe is one of only a handful of players in NBA history worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the great Michael Jordan. And sadly, he passed much too young. Check out this very cool Sports Gallery Exclusive Collage Display that features a photo of Kobe going against MJ, along with other awesome "#8" and "#24" Kobe photos (the Lakers retired BOTH numbers!). We offer this unique display as part of our unsigned SG Signature Series, Exclusive Displays that include an engraved facsimile signature Plate, in this case Kobe's elegant autograph. This beauty also includes Kobe's very cool "Black Mamba" nickname as well as "5x NBA CHAMP". Also included in this eye-catching display is an official Lakers logo patch. Measuring 21 1/2" h x 25 1/2" w and Quality Framed with black wood moulding, glass and Lakers matting, this is a great piece of Sports Art celebrating and memorializing one of the greatest basketball players EVER.
