00:07And Melissa, the NBA season is about to resume, and the Lakers, of course, have Kobe Bryant
00:12on their minds every day.
00:14What did LeBron James have to say about that?
00:16Yeah, LeBron James said that he's thought of Kobe Bryant every single day.
00:22And when you think about it, it's been about six months since Kobe Bryant and Gianna died
00:26in a helicopter crash.
00:28And LeBron saying he's still thinking about him all the time.
00:32Right after Kobe died, he said that he wanted to continue his legacy, and that he was going
00:38to put everything on himself, and that he wanted to help bring the Lakers to their first
00:42championship since 2010, when Kobe led them to their last title.
00:48Lakers coach Frank Bogle also weighed in, and he said that Kobe's still with the Lakers
00:52every day, obviously in their hearts.
00:55He said that he wants to channel them come playoff time, and he hopes that they can remember
01:00his mentality, his work ethic, his toughness, and use some of that when they're competing
01:06for a championship.
