Just over two weeks after the passing of Kobe Bryant, he’s still on everybody’s minds in the basketball world. After last week’s viral dunk by LeBron James, which emulated a Bryant dunk from 19 years ago, brought that back to the forefront once again.
LeBron referenced the 90s classic movie “The Sixth Man,” saying that he believes he was inhabited by Kobe’s spirit on that dunk when he emulated the same dunk from the past. But the family aspects of the Bryant tragedy have moved everybody, including the James family. Bronny wrote a tribute to Gigi and Kobe on his shoes for his first game after the tragedy and on Monday, Bronny emulated his father’s Kobe-esque dunk .
The NBA community is still in mourning after the tragedy and that mourning process will continue later this week in Chicago at NBA All-Star Weekend.
