LeBron and the Lakers legend were really close as Bryant said in 2016. “We’ve been close,” he said back then. “We talk more than people know.”

LeBron is trying his best to continue Kobe’s legacy in Los Angeles. He will win a title with the Los Angeles Lakers. That would be the greatest tribute to the Black Mamba.

The great LeBron James is delivering a special message with his team

LeBron is in his second season with the Lakers, and this is his 17^th season in the NBA. King James is averaging 25.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 10.6 assists per game. Yes, he leads the league in assists. He has been putting up some really insane numbers.

LeBron has led his team to the second-best record in the league. They are on top of the West, and they have a good chance to win a title with the team.

Kobe’s death shocked LeBron. It shocked every basketball player in the world.

The Lakers superstar took to his Instagram account to write a message for his brother.

Kobe on LeBron, "We've been close. We talk more than people know."

“I’m Not Ready but here I go. Man I sitting here trying to write something for this post but every time I try I begin crying again just thinking about you, niece Gigi and the friendship/bond/brotherhood we had! I literally just heard your voice Sunday morning before I left Philly to head back to LA. Didn’t think for one bit in a million years that would be the last conversation we’d have.”

LeBron also asked Kobe for help, and asked for help. Hopefully, Kobe will give LeBron the strength to move on with his career. He has a title to win, remember?
