A duplicate of [Bryant’s] 2000 Los Angeles Lakers championship ring, gifted to his father Joe, sold for $174,184. A version in a smaller size, made for his mother Pam, went for $108,153.
Other items that commanded top dollar in the sale, conducted by New Jersey-based Goldin Auctions, included Bryant’s 2000 NBA All-Star ring ($55,597), and two of his game-used high school uniforms ($50,150 and $41,694).
The ring presented to his father commanded great interest partly because it was in the exact size of Kobe’s ring (11½).
The top prize in sports is constructed from diamonds and gold. Technically the ring was never donned personally by Bryant himself.
