Kobe Bryant’s 8th Grade Yearbook Up For Auction
As the world still mourns the passing of Kobe and Gianna Bryant, a bit of nostalgia from 1992 shares a great reminder of how dedicated Kobe was to the game of basketball … and to his future team.
“In a few years you probably will be dunking on me. Not!! How bout those Lakers. Your friend Kobe Bryant #24”, is what Kobe wrote in a friend’s Bala Cynwyd Middle School yearbook in 1992.
He was only 13 years old at the time and wouldn’t become a member of the Los Angeles Lakers for another four years. And even back then, he wore #24, which now hangs in the rafters of the Staples Center forever.
Iconic Auctions now has the super-unique piece of memorabilia up for auction. According to TMZ, they expect the yearbook to sell for over $20k when the auction closes this weekend.
