In a rare opportunity, fans of the basketball icon LeBron James will have the chance to own a piece of history as his iconic high school jersey goes under the hammer in an upcoming auction. The highly sought-after jersey is expected to fetch a hefty sum, with estimates suggesting a sale price of up to $100,000.

James, considered one of the greatest players in NBA history, donned the jersey during his senior year at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio.

The signed jersey, complete with proof of authenticity from the sports memorabilia industry’s highest standards, is expected to attract intense interest from bidders. This is likely due to the jersey’s significance in James’ personal and professional journey, which has seen him win multiple NBA championships, MVP awards, and become a cultural icon.
