Anthony Davis on Honoring Kobe Bryant in Game 5: 'We Don't Want to Let Him Down'

The Lakers will enter Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Friday night with a chance to bring another championship to Los Angeles and honor the late Kobe Bryant.

The team plans to wear their Bryant-inspired Black Mamba jerseys for what could be a memorable night. The Lakers wore them in Game 2 and intended to don them again in a possible Game 7, but with a 3–1 series lead over the Heat, they changed the plan.

Star Anthony Davis said the Lakers are looking forward to hopefully winning Game 5 and honoring Bryant.

"If we come out and do what we're supposed to do, then we can remain undefeated," said Davis, per Lakers Daily's Ryan Ward.
