The recent auction of Bronny James' Los Angeles Lakers debut jersey has captivated the sports memorabilia market, highlighting his NBA potential and family lineage.
This sale at Sotheby's for $38,400 exceeded expectations and shows the young star's extraordinary buzz.
Bronny, the 55th overall pick, made waves in his Summer League debut on July 12
by scoring eight points and five rebounds against the Houston Rockets.
While his on-court performance was modest, the jersey's sale price shows the expectations put on him when he enters the NBA alongside his father, LeBron James, a league powerhouse.
The selling exceeded the debut jerseys of higher-drafted talents like Zaccharie Risacher
and Reed Sheppard and came close to matching LeBron's $42,000 regular-season game-worn jersey sale.
Bronny's market attractiveness comes from his high-profile family ties and NBA excitement, as shown by this record.
