Paul KasabianFeb 2, 2023

LeBron James' first-ever game-worn No. 6 jersey as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers is up for auction.

Per TMZ Sports, SCP Auctions is running the bidding, which started at $40,000. As of 4 p.m. ET on Thursday, eight bids had driven the price to $77,951. Bidding is set to end at 10 p.m. Saturday.

James wore No. 23 during both of his Cleveland Cavaliers stints but switched to No. 6 during his four-year stretch with the Miami Heat. James went back to No. 23 for his first three Lakers seasons beginning in 2018. However, he made the move to No. 6 in time for the 2021-22 season.
