LeBron James’ Iconic High School Jersey to Fetch Over $1 Million at Hong Kong Auction
In a rare opportunity for collectors and fans, an iconic high school jersey worn by basketball superstar LeBron James is set to go under the hammer in Hong Kong later this month. The jersey, which is expected to fetch over $1 million, is part of a star-studded sale of memorabilia featuring items from legendary stars of the past and present.
The jersey, worn by LeBron during his time at St. Vincent–St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine, where he was dubbed "The Chosen One" as his journey to becoming one of the greatest players of all time began.
The auction, taking place on September 28th, is the first of its kind in Hong Kong and features 89 lots of items from international stars of music, sports, and entertainment. The selection includes 53 items of star-studded clothes and accessories, which are currently on display in an upscale Hong Kong shopping mall ahead of the auction.
Basketball is a highly popular sport in Hong Kong and mainland China, with LeBron James and other NBA stars being household names among fans and collectors. The auction company hopes to make a successful sale at the end of September, and with items from the likes of Hong Kong martial arts legend Bruce Lee and current entertainment superstar Taylor Swift also up for grabs, it’s an opportunity that’s not to be missed.
Almost half of the lots, 40 items, are dedicated to the late martial arts star Bruce Lee, with some of the items on display for the first time in decades. If you have a spare million US dollars or more, you might be able to take home a piece of sports and entertainment history.
The auction is set to be a thrilling event, offering fans and collectors a unique chance to own a piece of memorabilia from some of the biggest names in the industry. With its first-ever auction in Hong Kong, the company is poised to make a splash in the city’s vibrant auction scene.
