“Congratulations Uncle P! Congratulations Lakers,” Bryant penned in a Sunday night Instagram story. “Kobe was right RP ‘stay the course- block out the noise’ – @kobebryant.” Of course, there were two people that should have watched team secure their new championship, as well, with Bryant adding, “Wish Kobe and Gianna were here to see this.”
