Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson shared a special message Kobe Bryant wrote to him when signing his book The Mamba Mentality: How I Play.
Thompson shared a photo of it Friday on Instagram, and it read, "To Klay, Rings, Rings, Rings, Rings... -Kobe Bryant."
The book was released in October 2018, and Thompson had already helped lead the Warriors to three championships by that time. Thompson is also a five-time All-Star and is widely considered one of the best shooters in the NBA.
Bryant, who was a five-time NBA champion and 18-time All-Star in his own right, died in a helicopter crash in January.
