Setting ample precedent for his regal status in the NBA, LeBron James was lauded “Mr. Ohio Basketball” three times, won the Gatorade “National Player of the Year” award and was far and away the most hyped high school athlete in the history of American sports. As the target of NBA scouts, footwear and apparel retailers, James wore this St. Vincent-St. Mary’s ensemble during the 2002-03 season. Graded A5 by MEARS, the hardwood apparel items match exemplars from James’ high school years with identical tagging, measurements and photo matches. Includes:
Jersey: a gold-colored micromesh/dazzle cloth blend pullover garment with “23” on the front and back in green and white appliqué and “IRISH” arched atop the front number in like fashion. An American flag themed ribbon patch is sewn to the left shoulder stirrup, while green-and-gold stretch ribbed knit lines the collar and arm yokes. On the left front tail an “On Sports” label denotes size “XXL.”
Shorts: gold-colored mesh/dazzle cloth blend leg wear with white and green accents, a leprechaun-themed appliqué logo on the right leg and an “Adidas” logo on the upper left front in green appliqué. Within the drawstring-lined elasticized waistband, an “On Sports” label denotes size “XXL.”
