Best way to find an authentic NBA jersey?

I'm looking for one of the authentic Kemba Walker Charlotte jerseys. I can't find them on the NBA store for the Bobcats - they only have the replica and swingman jerseys, which as I understand it are inferior quality to the ones worn on the court by the players. The authentic ones are the exact same as the ones worn on court, though obviously not the ACTUAL ones being worn.

I'm in Australia, so there's no local source for them here, shipping is the only option. Can anyone help?

    Try a sports memorabilia store, one with an online presence. Best bet is probably one based in Charlotte.

    Are you looking for something game-worn? Because that's going to be pricey even for a player I've never heard of.

    Not game-worn, but I am looking for the same kind that they wear. The replica jerseys are made from a crappy mesh with ironed-on lettering, and the swingman model aren't that much better. The authentic ones are identical to the ones the players wear, though they aren't game-worn.

    and Kemba is one of the starters for the bobcats, so he's well known if you're a Bobcats fan. Not a superstar like LeBron though, you're right.

    I went on NBA's online store and only found 2 "authentic" Charlotte jerseys period.. One was for the Bobcats, not Walker, and the other was from the Hornets, some guy from back then.

    Then I tried the custom section, and they don't seem to offer custom made Charlotte jerseys.

    So I really don't know what to tell you.

    Yeah, it seems like I might be out of luck, but I tried an Australian online collectors store and he is going to get in touch with some of his suppliers and see what he can turn up for me.
