Before taking the court Monday night … wearing the Lakers legend’s iconic #8 jersey ahead of the 1-year anniversary of his death.
KAI and the Black Mamba built a strong relationship over the years … with the 5-time champ serving as a mentor for the young superstar.
With Tuesday marking one year since the Bryant’s tragic death, the Brooklyn Nets guard wanted to make sure he did something Kobe-related with his wardrobe choice.

The Nets are not playing on Tuesday, so Irving paid his respects to Bryant by wearing the former Laker star’s jersey to his game on Monday. When news of Bryant’s shocking death emerged last year, Irving was so emotionally distraught that he decided he couldn’t play that day.
