I’d like to dedicate this title to the mamba, the mambacita, and Phil, DB’s worthy predecessor who left us too soon. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel

Pretty much what we know about Pau. He will do anything and everything to keep his friends legacy on going and keep in touch with his family. Special bond, special person.
But it did hit me, that we would have seen a lot of Kobe detail videos this playoffs especially with the Lakeshow. And with the way Kobe loved to beat up on MDA and the new school ball I know Kobe would have taken extra joy in breaking down how the Lakers were beating these teams.
Oh, life.
Kobe would have a field day breaking down how we've been able to attack Miami's zone. I haven't really been as hype during this title run and I think part of it this sinking feeling that still lingers from Kobe's loss. I don't really talk about it with anyone because I feel like it shouldn't still have this effect on me. But I really only feel it when I watch or think about the Lakers. And there are some iconic photos that I can't look at without tearing up, especially the ones with he and Gigi together. Man, what a year.
Ziggy. Known you as a poster for years, here.
My brother, nothing to say, other than
Appreciate you wolf. Always good to see you posting. My only thoughts after winning this championship are about Kobe. There is no joy or celebration. Just the thought that Kobe and Gigi are looking down with pride in their Laker jersey's. Like he always said, "if you're a fan of mine then you're a fan of winning". This championship was the best way to honor Kobe.

My son was born this past Saturday, and we gave him the middle name “Bryant”. I can’t wait to tell him all about Kobe when he’s older, and watch old games and highlights with him.

Cogratulations!!!
My son was born during halftime of the 2002 game 7 OT win vs. the Kings.
Middle name: Bryant
This was the toughest emotional season to endure for me, and a large part of it was Bryant's death.
To have Bryant's death, motivate the team, to perhaps even play harder than they already were, to dedicate it to him and win it for him, it makes the pain of the tragedy a little less.
Thank you Kobe, thank you Lakers 2019-20 team/coaches/FO for all the efforts. You all made it worthwhile to be a Laker fan for 30 years.
Mamba Mentality forever.
