Whether he did it on purpose is unknown, but Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James recreated a classic Kobe Bryant dunk on Thursday against the Houston Rockets at Staples Center.

The passing of Bryant is going to take a long time to get over. The Lakers players were very emotional last week against the Portland Trail Blazers at Staples Center during LA’s tribute to Kobe.
Los Angeles has the best record in the Western Conference. However, nothing would make this season more special than to see LeBron James and Anthony Davis lead the Lakers to banner No. 17 for Kobe Bryant. Both players were very close with Bryant, and his passing will certainly motivate the two to win it all this year.
The Lakers retired Bryant’s No. 8 and 24 jerseys last year. Now, the late NBA legend is set to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer as part of an incredible class this 2020.
