The Los Angeles Lakers hosted a star-studded musical tribute to Kobe Bryant on Friday night.
Usher performed “Amazing Grace” at Staples Center before the Lakers played the Portland Trail Blazers. As Usher performed, videos of mourning fans and athletes were shown on the jumbotron.
Boyz II Men, who paid tribute to Kobe alongside Alicia Keys at the Grammys, sang the national anthem wearing shirts with the two numbers Kobe made famous — 8 and 24.
And at halftime, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth performed “See You Again.” Wiz dedicated the 2015 song originally written to commemorate the death of Paul Walker, to Black Mamba, telling the crowd, “His legacy is gonna be remembered. We love you, Kobe.”
