Sixers Star Danny Green Honors Lakers and Kobe Bryant With New Tattoo

Kobe Bryant was undeniably one of the GOATs of the NBA. So, his passing took a huge toll on the minds of fans and players alike. Recently, former Laker, Danny Green took his chance to honor his time with the franchise. He also wanted to give a tribute to Bryant and his daughter, Gianna. So, he got a tattoo on his arm to send both messages at once.

Green pays tribute to Kobe Bryant

Steve Butcher, who is a really popular artist, worked with Green to get this tattoo done. He shared an Instagram post revealing the sharpshooter’s recent artwork.

Green got the famous ‘Hollywood’ sign in Los Angeles as the background in his tattoo. Then he has a huge Larry O’Brien trophy ahead of it with the words ‘Universal Studio’ on top, with the ‘L’ in ‘universal” replaced by the iconic Lakers logo. This signifies the merge of Hollywood along with basketball.

The tribute to Kobe Bryant and Gianna is on his tricep; he has their jersey numbers 24 and 2 in a loop.

In addition to representing his love and respect for Bryant, his tattoo also goes to show how tough the 2020 championship really was for the Lakers.

However, Green did not continue his stay with the Lakers after their championship. He decided to move ahead and join the Philadelphia 76ers. Green is now teaming up with Joel Embiid, who came out as one of the top candidates to win MVP last season.

How has he done so far?

Where is Danny Green now?

Green was the starting small forward for Philadelphia. He acted as the much needed perimeter threat the 76ers lacked through the previous seasons. Likewise, he shot 40% from downtown last season.

However, he picked up a calf injury in their playoff battle against the Atlanta Hawks and did not return for the entire series after that. Shockingly, the Hawks beat the 76ers in 7 games in that series. Ben Simmons faced a lot of heat after his lack of shots in the crucial games.

Moreover, the absence of Danny Green also hurt Philadelphia as it left Seth Curry as a lone shooter on the pitch. After the playoff upset, Green is set to return to Philadelphia for yet another season. With him being healthy, do you think Philadelphia can go all the way? Let us know in the comments below.
