2014 LeBron James Alternate Style "King James" Game Worn Miami Heat Jersey--Photo Matched & NBA Letter! At thirty-five years old, LeBron James has already been a household name for more than half his life, entering the public consciousness as the most heralded high school phenom in the history of the sport. But the first pick in the 2003 NBA draft exceeded even the rosiest of expectations, claiming four regular season and three Finals MVP Awards (to date) and a place in any honest debate regarding the greatest of all time. King James would fall just short of his dreams of a Heat three-peat the season he sported this home white gamer, his last in South Beach.

But this is no "ordinary" gamer from that Eastern Conference Championship campaign, but rather a rare variation sporting the regal nickname that can be tracked back as far as the 2002 issue of Sports Illustrated that marked LeBron's first cover appearance at age seventeen. As the included letter of provenance from the NBA/MeiGrey attests, "this white jersey was worn by #6 LeBron James of the Miami Heat during the 2013-14 National Basketball Association regular season. James wore this jersey during the Miami Heat's 104-95 double-overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets on January 10, 2014 at Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, NY. He played 49 minutes and registered 36 points with 5 assists and 7 rebounds."

Included in the documentation is a pair of printed photos matching the mesh hole patterns on both front and back.

The white mesh garment exhibits proper single-game wear, with "Heat 6" applied in two-tone tackle twill to obverse, and "King James 6" to verso. Lower left front tail reveals "Adidas Size 2XL" label with handwritten "1-10-14" date and "Length +2"" flap tag. Secondary label at left holds serial number matching the NBA/MeiGrey documentation for further assurance of authenticity. A truly special representation from the biggest name in American sports today. LOA from NBA/MeiGrey. Multiple photo matches. LOA from Heritage Auctions.
