A hardcore Lakers fan now has the towel Kobe Bryant used in his final NBA game.
The towel, sold through Iconic Auctions, went for a whooping $33,077.16. The bidder has not gone public yet but Jeff Woolf, president of Iconic Auctions, told CNN, he is a “devoted Lakers fan” and “his long-term plan is to create a museum in Southern California.”
Woolf also revealed “the same bidder recently spent another $30,000 on an old yearbook from Bryant’s middle school days.”
Bryant’s final game, where he scored 60 points, against the Utah Jazz was on April 13, 2016. The bidder also received two tickets from the game.
