Sure, you could buy yourself a Kobe Bryant jersey. And yeah, you can pick up a $10 dollar program. But everybody is going to have that Kobe Bryant retirement memorabilia – you want something special. Well, you’re in luck because the Los Angeles Lakers are selling a Kobe Bryant retirement hat for nearly $40,000 dollars.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The limited edition Kobe Bryant hat that is selling for $38,024 is just one of many items the Lakers are selling in an attempt to cash in on the Black Mamba before he walks away from the NBA.
Limited-edition items conceived by Anschutz Entertainment Group, which runs the Staples Center and its merchandise, will run the gamut, from snakeskin texture jerseys for $424 all the way up to a hat that costs $38,024.
Some items will be available for purchase at the Los Angeles Lakers’ online store beginning at 8:24 a.m. PT Thursday. Other items will first be available at the Lakers store at the Staples Center on April 13, the night of Bryant’s final game, against the Utah Jazz.
The most hilarious part? You know the Kobe Bryant gear is going to sell out, no matter the cost. Dropping $40K is like going to McDonald’s for some of their season ticket holders.
