Kobe Bryant's Childhood Basketball Hoop Set For Auction

Do you want a piece of history? Now is your time to purchase the basketball hoop Kobe Bryant practiced with as a kid in Pennsylvania.

The hoop, which was seen in the real estate listing for Bryant's childhood home in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania that recently sold for $810,000, will soon find a new home after the seller gave the item to an acquaintance, who then passed it along to John Romani at Sales By Helen to sell at an auction.

Romani told TMZ Sports he plans to enter the hoop in Heritage's Platinum Night Auction on February 20 and he wouldn't be surprised if its value reaches six figures.

Several other items of Bryant memorabilia will also be up for grabs in the Heritage auction, including a Michael Jordan Sports Illustrated magazine that was addressed to Bryant as well as Duke basketballs that the Lakers legend received when the Blue Devils were recruiting him back in the day.
