The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is displaying a 2008 NBA Finals uniform worn by Kobe Bryant in its current “Sports: Leveling the Playing Field” gallery. Bryant wore the jersey during Game Five, the year he won the league’s MVP award. It’s on view next to a pair of LeBron James 15 “Equality” sneakers by Nike.
“Kobe’s contributions on and off the court are remarkable,” said Spencer Crew, interim director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. “As a founding donor, he understood the significance of this museum to the nation and the world. After postponing the March installation due to COVID-19, we believe now is the perfect moment in history to honor his memory by placing his jersey on view.”
As a founding donor of NMAAHC, Bryant urged his Twitter followers to visit the museum in 2016 by tweeting, “There is no greater testament to this country than the stories in this building.” The Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation contributed at least $1 million to NMAAHC, and in 2017, Bryant donated his 2008 jersey to the museum.
For those who cannot visit the museum in person, Bryant’s jersey and more information about his career can be viewed online.
