00:00I'm Jill Painter-Lopez for Sports Illustrated, joined by Melissa Rowland.
00:07And Melissa, the Lakers arrived into the NBA bubble in Florida on Thursday, and Anthony
00:13Davis was wearing something very special.
00:16Tell us a little bit about that.
00:17Well, he was wearing the shirt that was handed out at Staples Center for Kobe Bryant and
00:21Gianna's public memorial on February 24th.
00:24It was a very special shirt.
00:27It's interesting because, obviously, that sent a message saying, we're playing for Kobe
00:32this season.
00:33Obviously, the Lakers are competing for their first championship since 2010, which was the
00:37last time Kobe led the team to the championship.
00:41Kobe and Anthony Davis had a special relationship.
00:44Anthony Davis considered him a mentor.
00:46And so it was interesting that he chose to wear that shirt heading into the bubble.
