LeBron James tributes Kobe Bryant in his tattoo
Back in 2020, LeBron James revealed his then new tattoo in the memory of Kobe Bryant. The tattoo came after Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and the seven others were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. In the post he posted a picture of him leaning onto Bryant at the stands wearing their jerseys.
The all-black tattoo is an image of a serpent, the Black Mamba, entwined with roses and numbers 8 and 24. Bryant was popularly known as the Black Mamba and wore jersey numbers 8 and 24 in his career with the LA Lakers. Beneath the tattoo he had ‘Mamba 4 Life’ written.
Recently, James paid another tribute to Kobe Bryant on his social media. On Bryant’s birthday, he posted a video of the two on his story and wished him. Along with the text, James did not forget to add a goat emoji.
