This isn't the first time that James has worn a band around his finger with Bryant's number on it. He's also honored the Lakers legend in other ways since he died in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26 in Calabasas, California.

In the Lakers' first game after Bryant's death, James wore a wristband on his forearm against the Portland Trail Blazers in remembrance of the five-time champion.

ESPN's Dave McMenamin tweeted a picture from Lakers practice Feb. 3 that showed James wearing a bracelet with both of Bryant's numbers on it:

Saturday marked Los Angeles' second scrimmage game on the NBA campus. It will play one more scrimmage on Monday against the Washington Wizards before resuming the season July 30 against the Los Angeles Clippers.
