$38,400 for a Bronny James jersey? To collector, he’s next chapter of Lakers’ storied history

LA Times  

David Kohler has quite an impressive collection of Lakers memorabilia. It’s the jersey worn by Bronny James in his first NBA Summer League game with the Lakers on July 12, a little more than two weeks after the former USC player was drafted by his father’s team at No. “These are historical artifacts and it’s not always about the dollars.” Kohler was born and raised in Los Angeles and is a lifelong Lakers fan. To him, Bronny James represents the next chapter of the Lakers’ storied history. “I just love the father-son story and all that.” Bronny James played his first preseason game with the Lakers on Friday, a 124-107 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and shared the court with his father for the first time two nights later in a 118-114 preseason loss to the Phoenix Suns.
