The Los Angeles Lakers continue to find interesting new ways to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant in his final season. On Sunday, it was with their socks.
The Lakers wore Bryant-themed socks during their game against the Golden State Warriors.

They’re mildly gaudy, but is there a way to put Bryant’s face on a pair of socks that isn’t? Perhaps Kobe can add them to his collection of strange parting gifts.
Did the socks work? Well, the Lakers blasted the Warriors 112-95 out of nowhere in one of the bigger upsets of the NBA season, with Golden State going just 4-30 from three point range. Perhaps they were distracted by the socks. The Lakers may have to keep them.
