To those who missed out the post and haven’t seen the 4th season of Stranger Things yet. One of the main characters, Lucas Sinclair, played by actor Caleb McLaughlin, paid tribute to the late great Kobe Bryant. The character was sporting a no.8 jersey, while playing for his school. It was a nod to Bryant’s first jersey number in the NBA.

According to Netflix, wearing a No.8 jersey was an idea the actor presented to the makers of the show. The latter is apparently a huge fan of the “Black Mamba” and hence paid a tribute to the basketball legend through his character’s jersey. Stranger Things already pays tribute to media surrounding 80’s America. Hence, it won’t be out of place to give homage to Bryant, even though he wasn’t playing during that time.
