Thompson is referring to Luka Doncic's second season in the NBA, and the Mavericks were playing in Los Angeles. Doncic is getting ready to inbound the ball, but he hears a fan trash-talking him in Slovenian behind him. He turns around to see it's Kobe Bryant, sitting court-side with his daughter, Gigi.

Klay Thompson shared that he knew Luka Doncic would be special when he saw Kobe Bryant come out of retirement to watch him play.

The impact of Bryant’s career, and the ‘Mamba Mentality,’ carry on in the kind of way that almost makes you forget that he’s gone.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant died Jan. 26, 2020 at age 41. Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, were among nine people killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
