1996-97 Fleer Metal Fresh Foundation Kobe Bryant #137

A long way from Lower Merion, Pa., Kobe Bryant will take his blossoming young game to the west coast as the freshest face of the new-look Los Angeles Lakers. The son of former NBA hoopster Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, Kobe leaves high school as the highest scoring schoolboy player in Southeastern Pa. history — 2,883 points — passing someone named Wilt Chamberlain along the way. This Fresh Foundation insert captures the iconic draft-day moment of a teenaged Kobe holding up his Lakers jersey #8, set against the embossed metallic Lakers-logo background that defines the Fleer Metal '96-97 aesthetic.
