El first anniversary of the death of Kobe Bryant has wrapped the last hours in the NBA with nostalgia and sadness. Especially in the environment of some Lakers who continue to play for and for the figure of ‘La Mamba’. Especially for LeBron James who is clear that the guard It is still the engine that pushes him to improve at 36 years old.
“To have the possibility to remember him in every game and to wear the black uniform during the postseason and to have the success that we had is incredible,” said James, remembering the figure of Kobe, who accompanies him in every game. “I can wear the ‘2’ and ‘4’ on my fingers in every game and when we play at Staples we have their numbers on the roof and we can live their legacy. “
The forward has always shown his admiration for the Philadelphia shooting guard. That’s why now, one year after the accident that cost him his life, LeBron assures that Kobe is more alive than ever: “There are many things that die in this world, but legends never die. And that is exactly what he is. So this is all about that, representing him. “
The other emblem of the new Lakers Anthony Davis assures that he still has difficulties when it comes to remembering the fateful date of January 26, 2020: “As the anniversary approached, sadness returned to our hearts when we realized that it had been gone. I keep having problems with it. I still can’t believe it. To this day he continues to be ‘Mamba in three’ whenever we can because we continue to recognize that he is part of our organization and since the tragedy happened we had to realize that this is bigger than ourselves. “
