Kobe Bryant’s high school jersey, shoes stolen from Lower Merion

Feb. 6 (UPI) — Keep an eye out on eBay for some ultra ‘limited edition’ Kobe Bryant gear.

“Kobe’s Shrine” was robbed this weekend outside of the Bryant Gymnasium at Philadelphia’s Lower Merion High School, according to multiple reports. The school sent an email to parents of students following the incident. According to Philly.com, the lock was broken on the display case before vandals stole a framed replica of Bryant’s high school jersey, the team’s 1996 PIAA boys basketball state championship trophy and net, and multiple pairs of Bryant-signed Nike shoes.

“We’re bummed,” Lower Merion Director of Community Relations Doug Young told Philly.com. Young was Bryant’s high school teammate.

“It’s a replica jersey, it’s not even the jersey he wore in high school,” Young said. “I’m not sure what someone would do with a state championship trophy. For us, the items are important because they represent some really wonderful memories.”

Lower Merion police are investigating the incident. Bryant, 38, was born in Philadelphia. The 2007 NBA MVP won five rings and was an 18-time All-Star in 20 seasons for the Los Angeles Lakers. He retired following the 2015 season. Bryant led the league in scoring twice during his storied career. He was selected with the No. 13 pick in the 1996 NBA Draft straight out of high school. He earned an estimated $328.2 million on the court while playing for the Lakers.

Bryant’s 33,643 points rank No. 3 all-time.
