At an age when he should've been a college freshman, Bryant was making Lakers and NBA history. In 1997, the rookie showed off his above-the-rim game to become the youngest player (18) and first Laker to win the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Bryant hasn't looked back since and has gone on to become one of the greatest players to ever grace the hardwood.

This autographed Kobe Bryant Lakers jersey includes a Panini Authentic certificate of authenticity with a unique hologram number that corresponds to the hologram on the actual jersey.
