Lamar Odom Cries Over Beautiful Kobe Bryant Diamond Chain

It’s been two years since the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant.

The NBA star, his daughter and seven others were aboard a helicopter on an overcast day traveling from Orange County, CA. to Thousand Oaks, CA.

They were traveling to the Mamba Sports Academy for his daughter’s basketball game.

Kobe often used his helicopter to travel to games and bypass LA traffic.

The chopper sadly never reached its final destination, and crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, CA on January 26, 2020.

Everyone on the helicopter died upon impact.

Many who knew Kobe, loved Kobe and were a fan of Kobe took to social media today to remember the NBA legend.

Among those people was Lamar Odom.

The ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian used to play for the Los Angeles Lakers alongside Kobe.

He played with the LA Lakers from 2004 to 2011 before getting traded to the Dallas Mavericks.

Odom took to Instagram and posted a video of a gift he received in honor of his former teammate and friend.

The former NBA player was gifted a diamond chain necklace with a handmade pendant of Kobe kissing his daughter, Gigi’s, head.

Odom was absolutely taken aback by the present captioning his post, “I am in tears ? My management team is the BEST ???????? To understand that Kobe meant the world to me and have this made as a constant reminder for me to keep going has me at loss for words. ?”

He then gave a shoutout to the designer of the chain, Scoobie Da Jeweler, for bringing this moment to life.

“@scoobiedajeweler MY FREAKING GUY!! Hands down the best jeweler on the East Coast ???? Get at him ~ Custom is an understatement!! What a day. We honor you @kobebryant #Forever ???.”

Odom also posted a video tribute to his late friend.

He captioned the video, “Not a day goes by without thinking of you my brother @kobebryant . To vanessabryant and the family, I love you all! I have been taking on everyday with the #mambamentality and it has helped me remain focused and accomplish different goals I have set for myself. Bean showed me what greatness takes ! So I am taking it! Forever with me ?? Love, L.O.”

Kobe’s wife, Vanessa Bryant, also remember her late husband and daughter on social media.

She shared a memory from Kobe’s game where he scored 81 points.

In the photo, Kobe is kissing Vanessa while holding their first-born, Natalia Bryant.

Naomi Campbell commented, “❤️❤️??,” and Natalia left three red heart emojis.

Courtney Lopez replied, “Love how Natalia Bryant is watching you both. Besos.”

TV host Mario Lopez wrote, “beautiful pic :).”

Many others left red, purple and yellow heart emojis.

Rest In Peace.
