Los Angeles (AFP) - Well-heeled fans will be able to remember Kobe Bryant in style after the five-time NBA champion plays his last game for the Los Angeles Lakers next week.
Anschutz Entertainment Group, which runs the Staples Center arena and its merchandise, on Thursday unveiled a flock of limited-edition items, leading with a gold-encrusted cap that costs $38,024.
All of the items feature Bryant's jersey number 24. Some, such as snakeskin texture jerseys ($424) give a nod to his "Black Mamba" nickname, his five titles or his record-setting 81-point game.
In synch with the Lakers' "Showtime" tradition, the "24 Collection" offers plenty of bling.
