A fan who added the jersey to his collection of Bryant memorabilia returned the uniform that was missing since 2017.

Kobe Bryant's replica high school jersey was returned after being stolen two years ago. By Jacob Bogage Jacob Bogage National sports writer and blogger Email Bio Follow March 13 at 4:00 PM Lower Merion High, Kobe Bryant’s alma mater in Ardmore, Pa., has a surveillance camera trained on the “Kobe shrine,” a collection of Bryant memorabilia dating from the Aces’ state championship run in 1996.

Now the replica jersey, at least, is nearly back home after a two-year journey that took it halfway around the world. He said he took inspiration from a signed photograph he had of Bryant, on which the future Hall of Famer wrote, “Dream big! Live epic! Mamba mentality.”Bryant has maintained close ties to his high school. He donated funds to support the school’s athletic department, and the administration named the school’s gymnasium in his honor in 2010. During Bryant’s final NBA season, the 76ers brought his high school coach to midcourt to present him with a No. 24 Lower Merion jersey.

“I have to question what their intention was in stealing that. Was it one of our rivals? Why would they do something like that to our school?” asked another student.

You sure it’s not just a (somewhat) well done copy? Make sure the embroidered name isn’t spelled “Briant.”

Thank god

High school coach, wife electrocuted while installing scoreboardA baseball coach and his wife were killed and their son injured when they were electrocuted while installing a new scoreboard at a Florida high school. Why where they doing that in the first place? A certified electrician should have been doing it and he or she would have followed proper procedure, unlike these two. Hire a professional next time people let this be a lesson. If it’s shown that the school was looking to save money on the installation, I hope they are held fully accountable and are properly sued.
