Lakers Will Sport Kobe Bryant-Inspired Socks Against Golden State Warriors

Stephen Curry may be splashing his name into NBA history, but before the Chef was cooking up threes, the Black Mamba was making his mark in the league's record book.

Past, meet Future.

Dominant players from different eras are set to collide on the hardwood Sunday afternoon as the Los Angeles Lakers pay homage to their franchise legend via some flashy footwear threads against the Golden State Warriors.

The L.A. squad will sport Kobe Bryant-themed socks—which showcase both No. 8 and No. 24.

With Bryant's level of play understandably diminished, the Stance-supplied performance accessories will be a good way for the Lakers to channel his greatness while facing the NBA's best team.

Just in case that doesn't go well, however, expectations of a victory should remain reasonably low.
