The L.A. Lakers decide to honor Kobe Bryant with the 2020 championship rings. Which are said to include 2 sentimental tributes to the late legend in the design. This comes shortly after LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the rest of the returning squad of the 2019-20 received their rings right before the start of the season opener against the L.A. Clippers.
Details
- The rings are made of 804 stones, 16.45 carats, nods to the Orlando bubble, the league's social justice movement, regular-season wins and more.
- The design includes homage paid to the Five-time champion; The first tribute is a snake wrapped around each player's jersey number on the side of the ring ...
Which reps Kobe's "Black Mamba" moniker and mentality.
- A detachable top, revealing each retired number in the franchise;With Bryant's #8 and #24 in the team's Black Mamba jerseys worn during their title run.
- Then LeBron's actual handwriting inscribing the team's motto, "Leave a Legacy," on one side.
This was made by Jason of Beverly Hills who told ESPN that it only took him 4 weeks to complete, which was due to the shortened off season.
Rest In Peace, Mamba. Your legacy lives on.
Even in death, he lives.
