James: I have regarded Kobe as an idol since I was a child, Mamba has always been

On August 25, Lakers star LeBron James reposted a comment on social media that he recorded before Kobe Bryant retired in 2016.

James said in the video that this was his last chance to play against one of the best players in history, Kobe Bryant, and there were many complex emotions integrated into the game. "I have regarded him as an idol since I was a child. I grew up watching him play, learned his movements, and fought him for so many years after entering the league. This is the last time I played at his home court, which means a lot to me, and I believe it is the same for many of my teammates. He has contributed so much to our league and done a lot for me personally."

James also said: "Everyone in California is full of respect and love for Kobe Bryant. I understand that this will be our last time playing in the same game. I will do my best to play well, continue to play the game, and leave it to the next generation of players. Salute to you. Mamba is eternal."
