LeBron’s 2020 All-Star Game jersey sold last night on @NBAAUCTIONS for $630,000, shattering the record paid for a modern NBA jersey. The previous high for a LeBron Jersey? $192,000 for his high school jersey he wore on the SI cover. https://t.co/dHTKrcjc3i

James recorded 23 points, six assists, five rebounds, two blocks and a steal in 19 minutes to help his squad, Team LeBron, earn a 157-155 victory over Team Giannis, led by the Milwaukee Bucks‘ Giannis Antetokounmpo, in an All-Star Game that became highly competitive in the final quarter.

Rich Mueller of Sports Collectors Daily reported the proceeds from the 25 All-Star jerseys would benefit the Mamba on Three Fund and the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation.

Those are charities championed by the Bryant family in the wake of the deaths of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna Bryant and seven others in a January helicopter crash in California.

James said he could feel Kobe's presence throughout the All-Star festivities:
