Lakers Legend and 5 time NBA Champion Kobe Bryant recently spoke to LeBron James after he announced his decision to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe made sure LeBron knew that playing for the Lakers is special and welcomed him into the Laker family by letting LeBron know that whatever he needs Kobe will help as much as he can. Kobe can not do so much however watching, but young players such as Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball are going to have to step up this season Kobe says. Kyle Kuzma responded to this challenge on twitter to let everyone know he is ready to play with LeBron James, and help bring the Lakers home their 17th NBA championship.
“We connected with each other & I just told him welcome to the family…it sounds crazy but I said ‘Dude, you’re a part of the family now, so anything you need on my end I got you & you know whatever the case may be I’m here for you man.'”

Kobe believes LeBron will help the Lakers develop quicker and will turn their young talent into stars. He also thinks the Lakers will easily be in the playoffs and be contending at the end of the season. Could we possibly see Kobe suite back up to play with LeBron?
