A luxury watch, designed and signed by basketball legend Kobe Bryant who died in 2020. The watch and other items related to the basketball player will soon be going under the hammer in New York City. The 18-carat piece of jewelry is part of a Bryant package that also includes a Nike Zoom 8 sneaker. It is called the Black Mamba NFT package, a reference to the name of the luxury watch. “The package consists of two analog pieces and one digital one. The latter is a non-fungible token, a non-replaceable digitally encrypted object, curated by the artist Moshé Douglas,” explains Diamonte Zarba, who works for the auctioning company GDGC . Proceeds well over ten million US dollars are expected. Of this, $ 50,000 will go to the Los Angeles Make a Wish Foundation, which makes wishes come true for children. The auction is scheduled to run from September 20th to September 24th. Bids can be made online and in the hall. During his 18-year career, Kobe Bryant himself made more than 200 wishes come true. In January 2020 he was killed in a helicopter crash. One of his daughters as well as the other inmates and the pilot also died.
