Kobe Bryant’s Last Instagram Photo Was With LeBron James: 'Keep Growing The Game'

We all heard about the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant this weekend, and the world has taken a collective moment of mourning.

He was one of the greatest, and he touched our lives in so many ways. It was a shock and the world will never forget the legend that was Kobe Bryant.

The world went into a state of shock when they found Kobe Bryant had died.

At 41 years old, Bryant met an untimely finish.

A helicopter crash took not only his life but the life of his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, as well.

Only hours before, he had posted this photo on Instagram, congratulating Lebron James on surpassing his all-time scoring record.

He wrote: "On to #2 @kingjames! Keep growing the game and charting the path for the next. 💪🏾"

He even took to Twitter to congratulate The King, saying:

“Continuing to move the game forward @KingJames. Much respect my brother #33644.”

Lebron even thanked Kobe on the 25th, only one day before the basketball star passed away.

He talked about how he wore Bryant's shoes despite the size being too big for him.

That's how much respect he had for Bryant.

"I’m just happy to be in any conversation with Kobe Bean Bryant, one of the all-time great basketball players."
