On November 22, Beijing time, according to the American media TMZ, the two jerseys of James and Bronny, father and son, are being auctioned, and they are destined to be worth a lot of money. This one-of-a-kind souvenir is being auctioned at Sotheby's with about two weeks to go before the bidding deadline and is currently priced at $70,000. Of course, the final transaction price is expected to be much higher than that.
TMZ said both jerseys were worn by the James father and son during their season opener against the Timberwolves on Oct. 23...... The Lakers won 110-103. James finished the game with 16 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds.
However, TMZ believes that while James' jersey is certainly fine, Bronny's jersey is a bit more complicated because it is marked as Bronny wearing it in the second half of the day...... So that's not necessarily the same jersey he wore when he played with his father, James (both of them played at the same time in the second quarter).
Bronny's jersey is labeled (in the second half of the first game), so it's entirely possible that Bronny changed his jersey at halftime, and the Bronny's jersey in this auction may not be the one he wore when he came on the court in the second quarter.
The jerseys James wore during the game were popular at auction, with one even selling for $3 million. As for Bronny, his Summer League debut jersey has a price tag of more than $38,000. Therefore, at the current $70,000, it is impossible to auction these two jerseys, and the price is expected to increase significantly in the next two weeks.
The auction will end on December 5, Beijing time. TMZ teased that James' fans still have a little time to scrape together the money.
So far this season, James has played in 14 games, averaging 23.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game, and Bronny has played in 6 games, averaging 0.7 points, 0.2 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. The Lakers are 10-4 and have won six in a row, and they will face the Magic today to break a seven-game winning streak.
