The Kobe-autographed hardwood sold for way more than its pre-auction estimate of half a million … going to a final bidder Saturday night for $631,200!!!
We’re told the consignor will donate 10 percent of the proceeds from the sale to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation.
Calling all (rich) Kobe Bryant fans, an incredibly unique collectible from the Mamba’s historic 60-point farewell game is up for grabs … but it’ll cost a fortune!!
A large section of the Staples Center hardwood court — where Kobe played his final NBA game — is set to hit the auction block … and the piece is truly 1-of-a-kind.
The floorboard features KB’s original jersey number, 8 — painted in white, outlined in Lakers purple — signed by the L.A. legend before he walked off the court he dominated on for nearly 2 decades.
Remember, Kobe — who was 38 years old at the time — had one of the greatest final games in sports history … dropping 60 points on the Utah Jazz during the April 13, 2016 contest.
Bryant started off slow, but was UNSTOPPABLE in the 2nd half … leading his Lakers squad to a come-from-behind victory.
It was truly a jaw-dropping performance by the Hall of Famer … and that’s why the court section is expected to sell for a whopping $500,000!!
We’re told the seller will donate 10 percent of the proceeds to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation — a foundation named after Kobe and Gigi Bryant — which promotes youth sports.
Online bidding starts September 4 at Heritage Auctions … and a live auction will be held September 26.
Mamba would have turned 42-years-old on Sunday, and Monday (8/24) was dubbed Kobe Bryant day … with everyone from James Harden, Anthony Davis and LeBron James celebrating the basketball legend’s life.
