Bryant goodbye bling includes US$38,000 cap

WELL-HEELED fans will be able to remember Kobe Bryant in style after the five-time NBA champion plays his last game for the Los Angeles Lakers next week.

Anschutz Entertainment Group, which runs the Staples Center arena and its merchandise, unveiled a flock of limited-edition items, leading with a gold-encrusted cap that costs US$38,024.

All the items feature Bryant’s jersey No. 24. Some, such as snakeskin texture jerseys (US$424) give a nod to his “Black Mamba” nickname, his five titles or his record-setting 81-point game.

In synch with the Lakers’ “Showtime” tradition, the “24 Collection” offers plenty of bling. The US$38,024 hat is made of lambskin and snakeskin — another “Black Mamba” reference, and contains 3.5 ounces of 18-karat gold in the shape of the number 24 on the cap’s front.

Only eight were made, and for those looking for something a little less pricey, there’s a purple diamond cashmere cap for US$24,008. Some of the items are on sale on the Lakers’ online store.
