Kobe Bryant is probably the only player to have become so adored and equally powerful in the NBA world. Not saying that MJ, LeBron James, Kareem, or even Shaq do not have their own legacy. But to be a global inspiration and a fantastic human being isn’t easy to come by. And that’s probably why people still remember him.

Not on a birthday or an anniversary. Literally, on a daily basis. One of Bryant’s hardcore fans is Jayson Tatum. He has mentioned his love for the Black Mamba on several occasions and his mom is witness to how much the death broke Tatum. Recently though, the internet was going crazy in its finding of a Kobe look-alike. This internet sensation is now seen with another legend in a cute scenario.

The 20-year-old Kobe Bryant look-alike is none other than the Lakers’ recent acquisition, Max Christie. Bryant’s 20-year-long career saw him playing with the same team that drafted him – Los Angeles Lakers. Now, we have another fresh talent who not only is trying to master some Bryant moves, but also resembles the man himself.

The internet had a field day when the uncanny resemblance was pointed out. Maybe it’s the passion or the resemblance that got to King James. Either way, he seems to have taken quite a liking to the rookie. In a rare clip that’s making the rounds now, LeBron is seen providing some valuable advice to Max Christie on playing Blackjack.

 

Though the young guard looks next to absolutely clueless, he still seems to enjoy the night listening and watching LeBron James in action.

Watching King James take the young rookie under his wing leaves fans delighted

This is certainly not LeBron’s first rodeo. We have seen him on multiple occasions relaxing in Vegas with a cigar in one hand and a card in another. Seeing him giving pointers to someone else in all seriousness is a first.

And the fans are going crazy watching LeBron activate his father mode.

 

One user showed their concern for the young Laker’s age.

 

Another user was busy pointing out how he isn’t exactly the best role model.

While a Bron fan just posted a great pun (with numbers though).

We all know how comments work. But you have to agree this was a wholesome video. The man even left his chips to Max. Will we see more of these “father-son” moments on the court, though? What are your thoughts?
