In a recent Instagram post by LeBron James, he displayed his new tattoo in memory of Kobe Bryant. The tattoo is a black mamba, Africa’s longest venomous snake (as it was Kobe’s nickname), along with Kobe’s jersey numbers ‘8’ and ’24’, two roses, and the phrase “Mamba 4 Life.” He captioned the post with “❤️ My brother ♾ #Mamba4Life #RIPKobe #RIPGiGi” along with a photo of them together.
