Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James wore a slick black Kobe Bryant jersey as he made his way into the arena for Game 4 of the team's first-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Lakers will be wearing their Black Mamba jerseys versus the Blazers in Game 4 since Monday (8/24) is Mamba Day.

The Lakers are looking to take a 3-1 series lead over the Blazers. LeBron James and Co. will certainly be motivated to win on Kobe Bryant day.

Through the first three games of the Blazers series, James is averaging 23.7 points, 11.7 rebounds and 10.3 assists in 34.0 minutes per contest. The four-time MVP and three-time champion is shooting 49.0 percent from the field, 31.3 percent from beyond the arc and 69.2 percent from the free-throw line.

After missing the playoffs last season for the first time since his second year in the NBA, LeBron has looked motivated against the Blazers and hungry to win title No. 4. The job still isn't done, though. Blazers star Damian Lillard can go off at any moment, so James and the Lakers have to be ready for Dame to come out firing in Game 4.

Since James has never lost in the first round of the playoffs during his legendary career, the Lakers are still the betting favorites to defeat the Blazers.
