LeBron James and Kobe Bryant reportedly spoke on the phone the night before the untimely death of the Los Angeles Lakers legend.

It was a cryptic call that has undoubtedly left the four-time MVP shaken to the core and still unable to share his emotions to the world, whether on social media or otherwise.

For one last time, James spoke with his former rival and good friend on the night that the two were linked by a milestone accomplishment during the Lakers-Philadelphia 76ers matchup on Saturday.

The fact that James reached the milestone in Bryant’s hometown of Philadelphia made it more memorable.

James passed Bryant for third place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, a feat that was duly acknowledged by the latter in his final Twitter post.

Unbeknownst to both parties, that would be their final conversation as Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others perished in a helicopter crash that has brought fans all over the world to their knees in sorrow.
