The short teaser clip previously released included Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving, but this time around, it gets better as LeBron James, the lifetime Nike endorser who is widely recognized as the one player that has rivaled Bryant in terms of talent and achievements, also participates in this farewell tribute.

The closest that this dream matchup almost came to fruition was in the 2008-2009 season when the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers won 66 games while Kobe Bryant’s Los Angeles Lakers finished with 65 victories. We all know how that year ended.
All eyes will be on Kobe Bryant at the Staples Center on the 13th of April as he wraps up his storied career.
