Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has posted a video of him hugging Lakers legend Kobe Bryant at a recent game at Staples Center.

Bryant tragically passed away on Sunday in a terrible helicopter crash. Eight other people died in the crash, including Kobe’s 13-year-old daughter Gianna:

In 1,346 career games for the Los Angeles Lakers, Bryant cemented himself as an all-time great. Coming straight to the NBA from high school is no easy move, but Bryant finished his illustrious NBA career with averages of 25.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. The 6-foot-6 shooting guard was an 18-time All-Star, two-time scoring champion, 15-time All-NBA team member, two-time Finals MVP and five-time champion.

Bryant is the fourth-leading scoring in NBA history after James passed him on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers, just a day before Kobe’s tragic death. LeBron took to Instagram on Monday to react to Kobe’s death. The two were very close and one can only imagine how sad The King and the entire Lakers organization is at the moment.

The Lakers retired Bryant’s No. 8 and 24 jerseys last year. He will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer as part of an incredible class when inductees are announced later this year.

Everyone needs to keep Vanessa Bryant and Kobe’s surviving daughters in their prayers right now. It’s impossible to understand what the Bryant family is going through.
