King James scores 130 points, records a double-double during three-game span!

2005-06 LeBron James Game Worn Cleveland Cavaliers Jersey - Photo Matched to Three Games! The most prolific scorer in NBA history was just twenty-one years old and engaged in his third professional season when he donned the subject home white mesh jersey, a year in which he'd finish second behind Steve Nash in MVP balloting and second behind the great Kobe Bryant in total points, although we should note that James' tally of 2,478 remains the highest single-season production of his career.

The experts at Sports Investors Authentication have matched this garment to three contests from that personal-best scoring campaign, as follows:

3/29: 107-94 victory over Dallas Mavericks. 46 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists.
4/1: 106-99 victory over Miami Heat. 47 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists.
4/4: 124-91 victory over Philadelphia 76ers. 37 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists.

"Cavaliers 23" spans chest in two-tone tackle twill, with "James 23" completing the design on verso. Lower left front tail provides "Reebok/NBA/Cavaliers" label with three flap tags affixed denoting, "50, +2 Length, 2005-2006." It would appear that the jersey was expected to be removed after the April 1st game, that event handwritten in marker on main label, but it saw one more game of action and we can see a bit of sweat-bleeding of that handwriting as a result.

Fine game wear is evident throughout the jersey. It's a very appealing example of a jersey from the franchise that made James a household name and a hometown hero. Photo match LOA from Sports Investors Authentication. LOA from Heritage Auctions.
