Many basketball stars pay tribute to Kobe with tattoos: Mamba for a lifetime
On January 27, the helicopter of legendary superstar Kobe Bryant crashed. He died with his second daughter and seven other people on the plane. None of them survived. The bad news spread, the entire sports world was shocked and fell into deep grief.
To mourn and pay tribute to Kobe, NBA stars used various methods, such as fouls 24 seconds after the start, wearing Kobe shoes, writing words to mourn Kobe on the shoes, and so on. Players including Dinwiddie, Terrence Ross, Norman Powell, and others have announced changes to their numbers in order to express their willingness to retire Kobe shirts. Fans have also petitioned the NBA official, hoping to use Kobe's silhouette as the league's new logo.
Some of Kobe's friends during his lifetime used tattoos to express his memory of his old friends.
After learning the news of Kobe's unexpected death, the Lakers team's mood was about to collapse. The league has also postponed the Los Angeles Derby, and the Lakers have hired a psychologist to coach the players.
To pay tribute to Bryant, who was killed in a helicopter accident, LeBron James engraved a new tattoo on his left thigh.
The content of James's new tattoo is flowers + Mamba + 24.
It is worth mentioning that James's teammate Anthony Davis also engraved a new tattoo just like James, they used the same tattoo artist
After the news of Kobe ’s death, James at the airport was crying, and he had to be escorted away by others, unable to accept the fact that he had lost his good brother.
James is even more determined to engraving the other person permanently, and his new tattoo on his left thigh is exactly a portrait of Kobe's life.
James commented: "My brother # Mamba4Life #RIPKobe #RIPGIGI", pays tribute to Kobe with action.
Anthony Davis, as a junior, also respects Kobe. After the unfortunate death of Kobe, Davis said that Kobe covered himself like a big brother, and missed the time when he played with Kobe in the 2012 London Olympics.
After James publicly exposed his new tattoo, Anthony Davis also showed a new commemorative tattoo on his thigh, a Black Mamba snake entangled in Kobe's personal logo-codenamed "Kill Bill" The scabbard used by the Mamba snake heroine. At the time, Kobe chose this logo to symbolize the revenge of the black mamba. The pattern is the classic logo of the Nike Zoom Kobe series and Kobe's nickname "Black Mamba Snake"
Davis' tattoo is different from James's, but the protagonist of both is Black Mamba. James's is more moderate.
For the Lakers' two core players, this season is doomed to be extraordinary. The departure of Kobe made James feel the burden on his shoulders. He has already said that he will carry the team forward. Even if the players do not tell the truth, everyone knows that they have more pressure to win and win than before.
Davis and James tattooed together, also shows determination. Keeping Kobe's symbol forever is also a formal inheritance of the Lakers' unfinished reconstruction business after his retirement.
Shark O'Neal's son, Sharif O'Neal, showed off his new tattoo, with Kobe's No. 8 and 24, and Kobe's second daughter, Gigi's No. 2 jersey.
He also tattooed "Mamba Mentality" and Kobe's logo on his leg.
Sharif also put out a piece of jewelry with photos of Kobe and Gigi.
Knowing the news of Kobe's death, O'Neill bluntly said, "I'm not very well. I'm sick." He said that he had never eaten or slept since he heard the terrible news.
On January 29, the TNT commentary came to the Staples Center and did a program on Kobe on the court. In the show, O'Neal, a friend, and teammate wept about Kobe's death.
He said he hadn't been so uncomfortable for a long time, and he couldn't make fun of him at the ceremony of Kobe's selection to the Hall of Fame.
At the Super Bowl party since then, O'Neal appeared several times to pay tribute to Kobe, he shouted to the crowd: If you love Kobe, please raise your hand! After that, he also asked the participants to compare Kobe's number by hand: 24.
It is worth mentioning that O'Neill's Rolls-Royce also has a new spray paint. The front position is the OK combination during the three consecutive championships. The side of the car is the classic action of the black Mamba in the 24th period. This body is connected by the Black Mamba snake.
Death is not the end of forgetting, forgetting is. There are also many fans planning to use tattoos to pay tribute to their idols.
