Kobe also had a talk with Rich Paul before the game started. It appeared the two were enjoying the conversation:

Bryant's appearances at Staples Center for games have been infrequent since he retired. It always feels like an occasion when he does show up. Luka Doncic and LeBron James facing off on a basketball court feels like a big enough occasion to get the Black Mamba in attendance.
