The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, and now, it's time to celebrate. The team held their championship parade in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Rams star Cooper Kupp paid homage to late NBA legend Kobe Bryant in his outfit at the celebration. The Super Bowl MVP arrived at the parade rocking a Kobe jersey.
The NFL tweeted a video of Kupp's championship look as he walked the street of Los Angeles.

It appears to be a Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant Black Mamba jersey. The jersey has No. 8 on the front and 24 on the back, both of which are retired numbers for the Lakers.
Kobe played his entire career in Los Angeles and won five championships with the Lakers, so it makes sense that Kupp would wear his jersey to the championship parade.
Bryant was the MVP in two of his five championships, while Kupp is this year's Super Bowl MVP.
Rams fans also took notice of the snarky t-shirt that general manager Les Snead wore on Wednesday.
Kupp had an outstanding regular and postseason, breaking and setting records. Kupp recorded eight receptions for 92 yards in the big game, and he was responsible for two of the Rams' three touchdowns.
The Rams' Super Bowl parade route is roughly one mile long and goes from the Shrine Auditorium to the Los Angeles Coliseum.
