1997 Skybox NBA Hoops Hoops Airlines Kobe Bryant #20

Kobe Bryant hit the ground running in the NBA, showing that he was not afraid to take the ball to the hole against anyone. He brought a repertoire of dunks — all of which were on display in Cleveland when he won the Slam Dunk Championship at the 1997 NBA All-Star Weekend. This card is part of the Hoops Airlines insert set from 1997 Skybox NBA Hoops, featuring Bryant in his iconic #8 Los Angeles Lakers jersey against a sky-and-clouds backdrop. The Frequent Flyer designation on the back perfectly captures Kobe's above-the-rim game during his electric early years in the league. A standout early-career insert of one of basketball's all-time greats.
