A signed Kobe Bryant jersey, worn during his lone MVP season in 2007-08, has sold for $5,849,700 with Sotheby's, a record for any Bryant item. It's the second most expensive basketball jersey ever sold.
Following Bryant's tragic death three years ago, murals arose around the world depicting Bryant in this uniform. Per Sotheby's, the jersey's lot includes a collection of photographs by photographer Greg Cohen of said murals. Also, there are a variety of materials that depict this jersey including artwork, magazines, newspapers, t-shirts, photographs, pins, books and others in the lot -- as well as photo matching and a letter of authenticity.
