Kobe Bryant had 26 points on 9-of-21 shooting for the Lakers, who committed 20 turnovers and lost to Charlotte for the seventh time in nine meetings.
Kobe invited Jeremiah Eason, a basketball player from Fort Lauderdale Dillard High School to watch the Lakers play the Miami Heat.
Bryant ended the night with scoring 39 points, but that wasn’t enough to get a win in Maimi.
Tonight the Lakers are in Miami to take on the heat. If you watch the you will see Kobe playing in the Black Del Sol shoes.
