Joel Embiid will honor Kobe and Gianna Bryant during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Philadelphia 76ers big man will wear special shoes to pay tribute to the player he "fell in love with basketball watching," according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.

Tuesday was the one-year anniversary of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe, Gianna and seven others.

Many players and teams in the NBA and around the sports world paid tribute to the legendary Laker with messages of love and by reminiscing about some of his most famous moments. His influence on the current generation of stars is unquestionable, and his impact is still felt around the league.
