Watch: LeBron James Delivers Heartfelt Message About Kobe Bryant’s Family After Game 3 Win Over Rockets

LeBron James has a message for Kobe Bryant’s family. The Los Angeles Lakers have taken game 3 against the Houston Rockets last night. The series started very similar to the first round against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Lakers came out slow in game 1 and lost. This caused many around the NBA to wonder if they were capable of getting further in the Playoffs.

But they have come back with 2 victory and have gone up 2-1. This is finally starting to look like the team that we knew could get far into the Playoffs. The Lakers have failed to get far in the playoffs in a very long time. This would be the first time they have made it to the Western Conference Finals in many years.

LeBron came out with a message for Kobe’s family after the game.

“I know Coach [Frank] Vogel keeps on telling us that he is going to use the memory of Kobe Bryant to fuel this playoff run and continue to talk to the team about it,” James was asked right after the game. “How have you channeled that to motivate you through this run through the postseason in this most unique environment?”

“At the end of the day we just hope we make him and his family proud, and that’s all it’s about, and anybody that’s ever set foot and put on a Lakers jersey, we hope we make them proud as well,” answered James. “From Kobe all the way down to everybody that’s ever played in Los Angeles or been a part of the Los Angeles Lakers organization, that’s what we’re trying to do. It’s a tradition here, and it’s our responsibility, win, lose or draw, to hold that with the utmost responsibility and utmost respect.”

Kobe’s death had a huge impact on the entire Laker’s organization. It was a shocking death that really hit the sports world hard. This is still having an impact on the team to this day. Hopefully they are able to pull out the victory for Kobe’s honor.
