Kobe Bryant passed away this Sunday, January 26, in an airplane accident at the age of 41, leaving a deep sadness in the sports world. One of the last memories he left for his fans was a final tweet in which he congratulated his friend LeBron James for surpassing him as the third highest scorer in the NBA.
LeBron James, small forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, surpassed Kobe Bryant on the list of highest scorers, who was in third place. After this achievement and being close to his new goal, which is Karl Malone, second on the NBA all-time list with 36,928 points, he was congratulated by 'The Mamba'.
"Doing it better, LeBron James. Much respect, my brother #33644" was the message from Kobe Bryant addressed to LeBron James, which would be the last one he would publish on Twitter.
Continuing to move the game forward @KingJames. Much respect my brother 💪🏾 #33644
