The price paid for what will be Bryant jersey (von xiaofeng01)

The jersey that Kobe Bryant Ken Dryden Womens Jersey wore for the first half of this year's NBA All-Star Game sold Thursday night for $100,040.The price was the record paid for a piece of memorabilia sold on the NBA's auction website, which has been around since 2006.The price paid for what will be Bryant's last All-Star jersey is almost more than double the previous record of $50,040, set when the NBA sold the jersey LeBron James wore in his first game back to Cleveland at the start of the 2014-15 season after he left for his stint in Miami.Bryant, who was the leading vote-getter and was playing in his 18th and final All-Star Game, scored 10 points and had seven assists in 25 minutes of play.The sellout crowd at the American Airlines Center groaned in unison as the arena big screens showed the replay of Wesley Matthews' right leg gruesomely buckling in the fourth quarter Friday evening.Matthews heard it loudly and clearly as he stared at the hardwood, lying facedown in the spot where he fell, hoping he hadn’t suffered a season-ending injury for the second straight March.http://www.officialpenguinsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Jeff_Zatkoff_Jersey “Get up,” Matthews thought to himself as both teams huddled by their benches with fear in their eyes, devastated for a dude who worked so hard to return from a ruptured Achilles tendon. “Get up.”Indeed, Matthews did get up. He slowly walked off the floor without assistance. He sat on the bench, looked coach Rick Carlisle in the eyes and insisted that he was going to stay in the game.“If there’s one positive, it’s that Wes is OK,” Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki said after the 130-112 loss to the historically great Golden State Warriors.An optimist could find other silver linings for the Mavs in addition to avoiding the worst-case scenario of losing a max-salary starter for the season. They gave Golden State a good run for most of the game despite sizzling shooting by the Splash Brothers. Dallas led by two points when a sore hamstring forced forward Chandler Parsons to leave the game for good a little more than four minutes into the third quarter. It was a four-point game with 7:19 remaining, but then Klay Thompson (39 points) put it out of reach with a 3-point flurry, and Stephen Curry (31 points) provided a dagger from the corner, too.http://www.officialavalanchestore.com/Womens_Youth_Gabriel_Landeskog_Jersey Nowitzki, however, is no optimist. He’s a realist, and the reality is that Dallas’ playoff hopes keep getting dented.With their seventh loss in eight games, the Mavs (34-35) slipped under .500 for the first time since early November. Their lead over the Utah Jazz for the West’s final playoff spot is down to a half game, the slimmest of margins.And the schedule isn’t about to let up for the Mavs, who hope that Matthews and Parsons will be available for Sunday's critical meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. Nine of their remaining 13 games are against teams who have either already punched their postseason tickets or are fighting to do so. They’ll see the Warriors again next week, after they get done with a home-and-home series against the Blazers, who can virtually eliminate the Mavs from the battle for the sixth seed if they can’t end their slide.“It’s a tough position to be in,” Nowitzki said after his 24-point, nine-rebound, four-assist, three-block night went for naught. “We’re going to face some guys that we’re fighting for playoff spots here soon. It’s all big games. Our schedule is a beast. There’s no moral victories right now in March.”http://www.officiallightningstore.com/Womens_Youth_Alex_Killorn_Jersey “It’s a loss where we played with great effort,” Carlisle said. “We needed to make a few more shots at key times. We needed to get a little luckier with them missing a few. With a team that good, things have got to go a certain way. You’ve got to make them go a certain way, but the stars didn’t quite align for us.”
