“OK, he’s here in the building,” James said he thought in the moment, when the two numbers that Bryant wore during his career appeared on the scoreboard.
After the game, James detailed the emotional burden of both honouring Bryant and coping with the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, by police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin.James spoke at length about the shooting, which has sparked violent protests. Blake, who remained hospitalized on Monday, was shot, apparently in the back, as he leaned into his SUV while his three children sat in the vehicle.
Anthony Davis added 18 points in 18 minutes for the Lakers before leaving the game midway through the third with back spasms.After the game, Blazers coach Terry Stotts was asked to describe his team’s position.“You’re down 1-3, it’s a tough position against a good team,” Stotts added. “We’ll regroup, it’s one game at a time. You can break out all the cliches, but we know what we’re up against when you’re down to a good team 3-1, so we’ve got to battle.
Bryant, who was killed in a helicopter crash with his daughter in January, would have celebrated his 42nd birthday on Sunday. The Lakers led 80-51 at the half. It was the most points in a half for Los Angeles in a playoff game since 1987.

Garbage 😒
I think the innocent shop owners that saw their livelihoods burn to the ground by the actions of an angry mob are scared too....whatever color. Might have been nice to call for calm and due process from that platform. Just saying.
Maybe he should use his voice to encourage people to stop with the disrespect
And also the unrest in Hong Kong
Sounds like he’s already making excuses for why lakers aren’t going far. Newsflash - everyone is having a hard time with Jacob Blake and the loss of Kobe Bryant. Even the team that’s going to win the championship.

Hey, Lebron? Just a thought, maybe the sad part is the deaths and the injustice, not that you can’t enjoy a playoff win...
Jacob walked away from officers, guns pointed at him, and then reached into his vehicle before he was shot. While having a warrant for sexual assault. BLM matter yes,but would any sane human act like this with guns drawn at them? Some people are taking advantage of the movement.
