The No. 1-seeded Lakers currently hold a 2-1 series lead over the Trail Blazers.
The elder Bryant is one of the greatest players in Lakers history. He was an 18-time All-Star and won five NBA titles with the Lakers.
In his final game during the 2015-16 season, the elder Bryant scored an incredible 60 points against the Utah Jazz.
Lakers forward LeBron James paid tribute to the five-time champion on Sunday, Aug. 23. The day marked what would have been the elder Bryant’s 42nd birthday.
The Lakers will take on the Blazers in Game 4 of their first-round matchup on Monday night.
