Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis and NBA legend Kobe Bryant shared a hug ahead of the Purple and Gold's showdown with the Dallas Mavericks.

This is the second time that Bryant watched a Laker game this season. The first one was back on November 18 against the Atlanta Hawks. LA won that game 120-101.

Kobe was once again with his daughter Gigi, who's currently playing as a varsity basketball player at Sierra Canyon High School. One of the reasons why Bryant is bringing Gigi to Laker games is so she could understand the game of basketball better.

Bryant, who retired from the NBA back in 2016, has been very supportive of the Lakers this season, particularly to his successors as LA's superstars, AD and four-time MVP LeBron James.

The Lakers currently have the best record in the Western Conference at 25-7.
