2003-04 Lebron James Game Worn Rookie Jersey. A
<B>2003-04 Lebron James Game Worn Rookie Jersey.</B></I> Almost as if the basketball gods knew that we needed something to fill the void left by the final retirement of Michael Jordan, they delivered to the NBA the greatest high school basketball phenom in history, who seems destined to carve a similar legacy for himself in the professional ranks as well. This red mesh roadster exhibits definite but appropriately light wear for a superstar jersey, as do almost all Lebron representations that have escaped to the hobby. The jersey was sourced about the time of the All-Star break during this Rookie of the Year season that saw the eighteen-year old superstar average twenty-one points and six assists per game. "Cleveland 23" is applied in white tackle twill with golden edging to the chest, with "James 23" announced on verso. Proper "Reebok" labeling likewise holds the logos of the NBA and the Cavs, with a size "50 2LB" flap tag at right and a "2003-2004" tag below. With Michael Jordan rookies having realized as much as $45,000 at auction in recent years, the offered lot may well be the smartest investment piece in this Signature auction. <I>LOA from Lou Lampson.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Clothing, Costumes & Jerseys (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
