Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams had the privilege of playing with Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. While speaking with Ros Gold-Onwude, Williams told an epic Bryant story involving Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton.
Barton was torching the Lakers in the first half of a game and head coach Byron Scott was prepared to make adjustments at halftime.
That's when Kobe spoke up and said he was going to guard Barton in the second half, and the rest is history:

All these legendary Bryant stories that have come out since his tragic passing are very touching and emotional. It still doesn't seem real that Kobe is no longer with us.
Williams paid tribute to Bryant by making a song called “24” after Kobe sadly passed away. The Lakers icon was this generations Michael Jordan.
Bryant was named an NBA Hall of Famer a few weekends ago with Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett. When it's time to present Kobe, there will be a lot of tears shed in the audience.
Williams and the Clippers had the second-best record in the West before the 2019-20 season was suspended due to COVID-19. Only LeBron James and the Lakers had a better record than the Clippers in the Western Conference.
In 60 games for the Clippers prior to play getting suspended, Williams was averaging 18.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists. The three-time Sixth Man of the Year was also shooting 41.6 percent from the field, 36.3 percent from beyond the arc and 86.3 percent from the free-throw line.
