Boston Celtics star guard Jayson Tatum has long been a huge fan of the late, great Kobe Bryant, so it was only fitting that he paid a subtle tribute to the Lakers legend while warming up before the start of Thursday night's Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals.
Tatum, who had 16 points in his team's 107-89 victory over the Mavericks, was seen wearing a Celtics T-shirt while getting ready for the game.
That wasn't just any Celtics t-shirt, however. It was like the one that Bryant wore years ago during a workout with Boston before the 1996 NBA draft.
