“Dad Has Been Missing His Friend”: Former Teammate’s Daughter Posts Heartfelt Message For Kobe Bryant

With the NBA season on hold, most players celebrated Halloween with their family. Former Lakers player Caron Butler was among those players. Butler remembered his former teammate Kobe Bryant this Halloween and posted a picture of him and Kobe on his Instagram account.

Butler’s daughter, Gia Caron Butler, wrote a heartwarming message for her father and the late legend Kobe Bryant. She also recreated the picture of Caron and Kobe as her Halloween costume.

“My dad has been missing his friend a lot lately so we decided to surprise him with this photo. It also doubles as a Halloween costume because my mom said we can’t go trick or treating this year.”

This was a really kind gesture by the Butler family for Kobe. Over the last few months, many players have come forward to pay tribute to Kobe. This gesture by Caron would surely mean a lot to the Bryant family.

Ever since Kobe’s death, everyone has been trying to put a smile on Vanessa and her daughters. Gestures like this would definitely make the day for them.

How did the Los Angeles Lakers honor Kobe Bryant this season?

When Kobe passed away, the Lakers held a memorial ceremony for the late legend. Moreover, in the first game back after the tragic incident, LeBron James gave a heartwarming speech to honor Kobe.

However, the job was not finished there, and everyone in the franchise was aware of that fact. The bigger picture was to win the title in memory of Kobe Bryant. LeBron James and Anthony Davis fulfilled their promise to the organization by winning the 17th championship in franchise history.

During their entire playoff run, the Lakers had their eyes set at the ultimate goal. This championship run will forever be engraved in the memory of Lakers fans.

However, if the Lakers win a few more championships in the coming years, it will be the icing on the cake.
