Way too small, Kobe wears a 58 + 4. If the letter is from the "Mark Jackson," former Knick and current announcer for ESPN, he does live in LA, but, not in Santa Monica. He's in the Valley and works out in the same gym Wilt Chamberlain worked-out in before his death. A friend knows Jackson and knew Wilt, a nice guy.

The only guy I'd buy Laker stuff on ebay is from Dan the Laker guy.

Kobe doesn't wear a size 58. Shaq gamers are size 60 +4. FWIW all the authentic gamers I've seen of Kobe they've always been 50 +4. Nothing a little internet searching can't help you clarify though.

We've done this before, look at Dan's thread about it dated in or around 4/23/07. Kobe wore a Nike 50 + 4 in the early years (I have one), but he bulked-up and wears a 54-58 +4 for over 7 years. Kobe likes his "stuff" baggy, hence the 58

I don't think it's Mark Jackson the player/announcer because isn't his wife's name Desiree?

Then my question to you is, who gives two-sh*ts what this non-Mark Jackson says and why would accept his alleged LOA as proof that it's legit?

I stand corrected. I knew he switched to a bigger size (wasn't sure exactly when) I just didn't know that big. Thanks for the info. I included a link to Dan's post breaking down Kobe's size changes over the years. Hope that helps.

No problem, Dan's legit in my book, I've bought many a Laker thing from him, but, it's been getting pretty expensive lately. Dan is a really good guy. :D

I currectly own 4 full uniforms and all are from his early years 50+4 and 52+4 and come with Grey Flannel LOA's and someone who obtained them from Dan. According to Dan that year he never wore size 50. So in my book no good. Check Ebay there seems to be another Kobe 2004-05 floating around with LOaA from Lou and he states has Kobe's blood on it and its also Sundays Alternative. How many are floating around?
