"I’m Not Ready but here I go," LeBron wrote. "Man I'm sitting here trying to write something for this post but every time I try I begin crying again just thinking about you, niece Gigi and the friendship/bond/brotherhood we had!"
"Didn’t think for one bit in a million years that would be the last conversation we’d have. WTF!! I’m heartbroken and devastated my brother!!" he shared.
"My heart goes to Vanessa and the kids. I promise you I’ll continue your legacy man! You mean so much to us all here especially #LakerNation💜💛 and it’s my responsibility to put this shit on my back and keep it going!!"
Kobe Bryant famously went by the nickname "The Black Mamba," after the snake who strikes with 99.9% accuracy, and LeBron has now shown off a new thigh tattoo of a black mamba with writing underneath it.
What a wonderful tribute to someone so incredibly important to LeBron, and also to the world at large.
