LeBron James: ‘6th Man’ Kobe Bryant gave me unintended dunk tribute
February 9, 2020 at 9:50 AM
LeBron James referenced the film 'The 6th Man' to explain his unintended tribute to Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash last month. During Thursday's 121-111 home loss to the Houston Rockets, James slammed a double-clutch reverse finish off a fast break, a play that looked identical to a dunk performed by Bryant against the Sacramento Kings at Staples Center in November 2001. When asked about the similarities, the four-time NBA MVP referred to a movie in which a basketball player's dead family member and team-mate comes back as a ghost to help him achieve success.
