LOS ANGELES - In a video released Thursday, the National Basketball Association honored legendary Laker Kobe Bryant ahead of its 75th season.
The video, which stars and is narrated by award-winning actor Michael B. Jordan, is called "Welcome to NBA Lane."
About one minute and 50 seconds into the video, Phoenix’s Devin Booker pulls up next to a Kobe Bryant mural. In the sentimental moment, Booker salutes the late and iconic NBA superstar as Jordan says "some things are bigger than basketball."
