LeBron James Wears Kobe Bryant Tribute Bracelet at Return to Lakers Practice Monday

The tragic death of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant shocked the world. The Black Mamba was traveling with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other people, including the pilot. Their plane crashed on the hillside outside Los Angeles. There are no survivors. The basketball world mourns over the death of Bryant and his little Gigi. LeBron James is devastated. Kobe was his dear friend and now he is wearing a special bracelet.

Fans, players, coaches, friends and family members can’t get over the death of the legend. A lot of people honored Bryant. LeBron even tattooed a black mamba on his leg. He will do whatever it takes to keep Bryant’s legacy alive. The same applies to every NBA player out there. Bryant was an idol to many young players, and even LeBron looked up to him. He was an excellent mentor, and the world will miss his wisdom.

LeBron led an emotional memorial to Kobe’s life and legacy on Friday. It was the first game the Lakers played after his death. He talked about his dear friend and his incredible career. King James returned to the facility for practice. Everyone noticed his bracelet. It had Bryant’s jersey numbers.

The Kobe Bryant tribute bracelet won’t be the last tribute by LeBron

That’s not all. LeBron will also provide tribute to the brilliant man in the 2020 NBA All-Star game in Chicago. Team Giannis will have No. 24 in honor of Kobe. He had this number in his last decade in the NBA. Team LeBron will have No. 2. That’s Gigi’s number.

LeBron has requested the No. 2 jerseys because Gigi reminded him of the greatest role in his life. LeBron is an excellent parent, and this tragedy made him think of his little girl Zhuri. The Lakers superstar has a special bond with his kids. They have the father he never had. That makes him an incredible person.

The tributes to the Black Mamba won’t stop in near future, and LeBron is already planning his next move. He couldn’t hide his tears, and getting over the sudden loss is impossible at the moment. We believe he will win a title in honor of his great friend.
