18 years ago today, James and Bryant met for the first time on the field, and today James posted a photo of that year on social media, accompanied by "Black Mamba and the King".
Obviously, James wants Kobe Bryant again, and the heroes always feel sorry for each other, although they have not been teammates in the Lakers, but the relationship is still very good. It has been exactly 18 years since the first meeting of the two legends, and in 2014, "Little Emperor" James was still a rookie, leading the Cavaliers against the powerful Lakers, and the Lakers won 89-79 because the gap between the strength of the two sides was too large. James' stats are 6-of-20 shooting, 16 points, 5 boards and 7 assists. Bryant scored 10 points, 5 boards and 2 assists on 3-of-8 shooting in that game, it is worth mentioning that Bryant scored 10 points before injuring his shoulder again in the first quarter, and when he came back in the second quarter, he insisted on playing 5 minutes with his left hand, and the fighting spirit was moving.
Later, Kobe Bryant and James met many times on the field, but it was a great pity that they were not able to meet in the Finals, the most recent time was that the Cavaliers led by James were unfortunately eliminated by Howard's magic and did not have the opportunity to meet the Lakers in the Finals, which was in 2009.
When James came to the Lakers from the Cavaliers, Bryant has retired, and the two have not been able to become teammates in the Purple and Gold Army, but Kobe Bryant went to the scene to watch the game and high-fived with James.
What I didn't expect was that Kobe Bryant left us because of the air crash, and James, who heard the news, fell on the shoulder of his friend and cried, which was moving.
So on the 18th anniversary of the first meeting between the two in the NBA, James also remembered Kobe on social media, he is still a black mamba, and he is also the king, but unfortunately the Si people have passed away, and Kobe can only pay attention to and bless the beloved Lakers in heaven.
