LeBron Shares Detailed Photo Of His New ‘Kobe Bryant’ Tattoo

LeBron James can’t get over the death of Kobe Bryant and got a tattoo as a tribute for the Black Mamba.

Bryant lost his life in a tragic helicopter crash in the hillside of Los Angeles. He was traveling with his daughter Gigi and seven others. There are no survivors in the crash. It was an unexpected loss, and the basketball world grieves. The Lakers arrived in Los Angeles right after the crash, and LeBron couldn’t hide his tears. Losing Bryant was a nightmare for every NBA fan.

In a tribute for his dear friend and idol, LeBron got a Black Mamba tattoo on his leg. “Mamba 4 Life” is written underneath the venomous black mamba that inspired Kobe’s nickname and Mamba brand.

King James got the tattoo as the Lakers mourned the legend who was killed in the deadly crash.

LeBron did more than just get a Kobe Bryant tattoo

LeBron also took to Instagram to deliver a lengthy message for Kobe. He thanked him for all the things he learned from him. Kobe was his idol, and LeBron looked up to him.

“I promise you I’ll continue your legacy man! You mean so much to us all here especially Lakers nation and it’s my responsibility to put this shit on my back and keep it going!! Please give me the strength from the heavens above and watch over me! I got US here! There’s so much more I want to say but just can’t right now because I can’t get through it! Until we meet again my brother!!”

The Lakers played their first game since Bryant’s death. They confronted the Portland Trail Blazers, and used the occasion to pay tribute. The Black Mamba tattoo wasn’t the only thing LeBron did for his idol. He also delivered an emotional speech. He couldn’t hide his tears.

Bryant will be remembered as a wise man who knew how to solve every problem. He was an incredible basketball player and young players will continue his legacy. It will be hard for players to imagine the NBA without the great Kobe. These are hard times, and Vanessa is living her worst nightmare. She lost her husband and daughter in the crash.
