The LeBron James tribute to Kobe has the Lakers fans going emotional

The Los Angeles Lakers' late legend Kobe Bryant became one of the most beloved NBA stars of all time, and after a little bit more than three years since his passing, the world still misses him.

LeBron James, the current face and star of the purple and gold has shown love to Kobe on his Birthday by posting an image on Instagram of the moment the two greats met for the first time.

LeBron didn't write a message, instead, he attached the picture with two emojis, one is the forever symbol and the other a snake which represents the nickname of Kobe "Black Mamba." It would translate to "Forever Black Mamba."

The late Kobe Bryant keeps receiving love from the NBA world three years after his and his daughter Gigi's tragic passing in a helicopter crash accident. LeBron James and Anthony Davis went on to win the 2020 championship title in honor of the Lakers legend.

Kobe Bryant, is gone but not forgotten

The world hasn't recovered from the lost of Kobe Bryant and will never do. Bryant is the greatest Laker of all-time and keeps receiving love from the people who met him and all the fans.
