Lakers Owner Jeanie Buss Gave Kobe Bryant A Special Gift Before His Final Game

The Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss has given Kobe Bryant a special gift before his final game. The Los Angeles Lakers are officially NBA champions after years with nothing. LeBron James and Anthony Davis definitely brought this title to the Los Angeles. But that is not to say that it was easy to bring this to the city.

There was a lot of stuff that went into this season. Obviously, the COVID situation has been hard for everything. The NBA bubble was incredibly different than anything we have seen before. But the teams that had to stay there for the longest time had it the worst.

But other than that, another was the death of Kobe Bryant. This was incredibly hard for everyone in the organization. Take a look at what LeBron said about it recently.

“Of course, you think there’s going to be time for us to get together and I understand that there are regrets in life, but I definitely wish I had that moment with him,” James told Yahoo Sports. “I do remember when I decided to come here, he sent me a text right away and said, ‘Welcome, brother. Welcome to the family.’ That was a special moment because at the time, Laker faithful wasn’t [fully in on me]. A lot of people were saying, ‘Well, we might not want LeBron at this point in his career,’ and, ‘Is he right? Is he going to get us back [to the Finals]?’ So to hear from him and get his stamp of approval, it meant a lot. I don’t ever question myself, but when it’s coming from Kobe, it definitely meant a lot.”

Now there is a story about what Jeanie Buss gave Kobe Bryant after his final game with the Lakers.

“This is for my family to thank you for all you’ve made for this franchise,” she said. “Five diamonds representing the championships in 20 smaller diamonds representing the 20 years with one team.”

This was definitely a touching moment for the two, who had been close for years.
