Kobe Jersey Or New BMW 328i?

Sure, that's worth 35 large.
If you needed any more proof that Kobe Bryant’s redemption is complete, here it is.
At an auction this week (co-sponsored by the NBA and the MeiGray Group Game-Worn Jersey Authentication Program), a memorabila collector spent $35,270 to get Kobe’s game worn jersey from the first game of this year’s NBA Finals. The winning bidder was "jtnbafan," who also spent $1,770 to get Hedo Turkoglu’s Magic jersey from the same game.
If you wanted to spend that much money, you could instead have purchased a 2009 BMW 328i. Or the 2009 Audi A4. Or an 18-karat gold case for your Blackberry. Or an ice cream machine that pumps liquid nitrogen.
Really, any of that might make more sense than spending that money on a sweat-soaked jersey you can’t wash.
