The towel Kobe Bryant wore over his shoulders during his farewell speech in 2016 and tickets to his final game were sold at auction for more than $30,000, reports CNN's Amanda Jackson.
Bryant scored 60 points in his final game with the Los Angeles Lakers on April 13, 2016, and left fans with a speech that ended with, "Mamba out."
As he left the court, a fan grabbed the towel off his shoulders and eventually sold it for $8,365 in 2016.
The new towel owner resold it through an Arizona-based company that specializes in memorabilia. It finally sold at auction for the price of $33,077.16 to David Kohler, who collects Lakers memorabilia and has the largest collection of such merchandise in the world. He also shelled out $30,000 earlier in March for a 1992 Bala Cynwyd Middle School yearbook signed by Bryant.
The Arizona-based company, which Kohler has bought many items from, said his long-term plans are to open a Lakers-themed museum in Southern California.
Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna were among nine people killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, Calif. earlier this year.
