LeBron James‘ first-ever #6 Lakers jersey — which he endured the opening night of the 2021-22 NBA season — is striking the auction block … and might cost a lots of dough, TMZ Sports has actually discovered.
(*6*)
An associate with SCP Auctions informs us the gold Nike “Icon” Edition jersey James sported versus the Golden State Warriors on October 19, 2021, is up for grabs … and it’s a huge offer, considering it’s the very first time he rocked #6 for L.A., rather of his Cleveland-age #23.
The bottom left corner of the piece of history programs LeBron’s jersey size (54) and the date of the video game, 10-19-21, handwritten on the tag.
The jersey has actually gone through a number of layers of authentication — it was participated in the NBA and MeiGray Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program — and was photo matched to the first and second half of the contest versus the Warriors.
Remember, James changed from #23 to #6 in June 2021 … simply 4 months prior to the NBA season began. LeBron formerly used the #6 when he was with the Miami Heat for 4 seasons (2010-2014).
“It’s always been a part of me, to be honest,” James stated when inquired about the switch. “Six has a lot of meaning to me, from my family and numbers and things of that nature to what I believe in and things of that sort, but my mentality doesn’t change.”
King James completed the night versus the Warriors with a game-high 34 indicate support 11 rebounds and 5 helps — however the Dubs ruined LeBron’s night, beating the Lakers, 121-114.
The auction ends on February 4. Good luck, bidders!
