The Los Angeles Lakers are honoring Kobe Bryant with their 2020 championship rings … including 2 touching tributes to the late NBA legend in the design.
LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the rest of the returning members of the 2019-20 squad just received their rings prior to the season opener against the L.A. Clippers … and they’re MASSIVE.

The rocks are made of 16.45 carats and 804 stones … with nods to the Orlando bubble, the league’s social justice movement, regular season wins and more.
The most notable parts of the design pay homage to the 5-time champ, who tragically passed away in a helicopter accident on Jan. 26, 2020.
The first tribute is a snake wrapped around each player’s jersey number on the side of the ring … representing Bryant’s “Black Mamba” moniker and mentality.
The rings also feature a detachable top, which reveals each retired number in the franchise — with Bryant’s #8 and #24 jerseys in the team’s Black Mamba uniforms worn during their title run.
One more cool thing — LeBron’s actual handwriting is used in the design … with the team’s playoff motto, “Leave a Legacy,” etched on one side.
The pieces were made by Jason of Beverly Hills … who told ESPN he completed the entire project in just 4 weeks due to the shortened offseason.
RIP Mamba.
