LeBron James honors Kobe and Gigi Bryant after Lakers first day of training camp

Sunday was the first official day of Los Angeles Lakers training camp, as the team was able to get into full speed workouts in preparation for the season. The Lakers play their first game of the preseason on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers and while it is a new season, LeBron James set the tone after Sunday’s first day of practice that the lessons and losses from last season will stay with them forever.

After the Lakers practice, LeBron donned a customized shirt featuring special moments between Kobe Bryant and Gigi Bryant. Later, LeBron posted the photo on his Instagram story, noting that their loss is something that will be with him and the Lakers franchise forever.

LeBron and the Lakers were able to start training camp with no reported positive tests. Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers became the first team to report positive tests and they shut down their practice facility on Sunday.
