Kobe Bryant 2000 NBA All-Star Ring

From the Collection of Pamela Byant, Kobe’s Mother

Sotheby’s is proud to offer Kobe Bryant’s 2000 NBA All-Star Game ring, presented to the future Hall of Famer.

Held at Oakland Arena on February 13, 2000, the NBA All-Star Game showcased Bryant’s emergence as one of basketball’s brightest young stars. At just 21 years old, Bryant contributed 22 points for the Western Conference, further cementing his status among the NBA’s elite. 

The game took place during a transformative season for Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. Later that year, the franchise captured its first NBA championship of the Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant era, beginning a dynasty that would win three consecutive titles. In hindsight, the 2000 All-Star Game stands as a defining moment in Bryant’s ascent toward global superstardom and a Hall of Fame career. 

This lot is accompanied by a letter from Bryant's mother, Pamela Bryant.
