Saw you on Collectors Call. I have Kobe Bryants Beijing Olympic pass and LeBron James high school worn jersey from the Pangos classic that was on the show.Its the white jersey with the shorts.I bought it in a Grey flannell auction years ago.Supposedly there were 2 of these jerseys,I was told they used to have 2 because they would switch them out at the half.I don’t know if he wore it because the only pics I could find is where he had the other one on.I don’t know if you can find one.I can send you some pics of the 2 items for you to look at and give me your opinion if you want
