On Friday night. the Los Angeles Lakers will return to the court for the first time since last Sunday’s tragic accident involving Kobe and Gianna Bryant and 7 others, and without a doubt it’s going to be an emotional evening at the Staples Center.
We already know the Lakers will have a beautiful pregame ceremony in place, but it was also revealed that they will keep two seats open for Kobe and Gianna for tonight’s game.
Before the players even headed out for shootaround King James revealed his Kobe Bryant tribute tattoo, and also had a Kobe jersey hanging up on the wall beside his locker.
