Giants' Golden Tate honors Kobe Bryant and Chadwick Boseman on his cleats

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate missed Week 1 with a hamstring injury, but he’s active on Sunday and will play against the Chicago Bears for Week 2. For his 2020 debut, he’s sporting some amazing cleats that celebrate two important figures we’ve lost this year.

Tate is wearing cleats with Kobe Bryant on his left foot, and Chadwick Boseman on his right. Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers legend, died in a tragic helicopter crash in January at age 41. Boseman, the actor famous for playing King T’Challa in “Black Panther,” died in August from colon cancer at age 43.
