Ever since the tragic death of Bryant earlier this year, the Lakers have essentially dedicated their season to him. Los Angeles has consistently worn the Black Mamba jerseys these playoffs in Bryant's memory.

So far in these playoffs, the Lakers have only lost four games, and they have never lost two games in any of their series. In the previous three games they lost, Los Angeles has followed it with a win by an average of 12.3 points.
Throughout his illustrious career, James has proven to step up in pivotal games in the postseason. The three-time NBA Finals MVP is hoping to channel his inner Black Mamba against his former team.
While the Lakers won't be wearing the Black Mamba uniforms on Tuesday night, they are still finding ways to pay homage to Bryant. There's no doubt the likes of LeBron James and the other members of Los Angeles are going to be motivated to inch closer to winning another championship for Kobe Bryant in Game 4.
