Did You Notice Caleb McLaughlin&#8217;s Tribute To Kobe Bryant In Stranger Things 4?

Saying it! Doing it! Both these statements take a long road to reach the
destination. However, Caleb McLaughlin playing Lucas Sinclair in the fiction
horror Stranger Things has proved his true fanship towards legendary NBA player
Kobe Bryant. Caleb, who has always been a hardcore fan of Black Mamba wanted to
honor his memory. Not to mention he chose the most heartwarming way to show his
love for American basketball star Kobe Bryant. 


LUCAS’ JERSEY SAYS IT ALL IN THE FIRST EPISODE OF STRANGER THINGS 4 

Released on May 27, 2022 season 4 came with a bang and became the most streamed
show on Netflix. While all the characters are settling down in their high school
lives we get to see a new Lucas Sinclair. He is a benched player on Hawkins High
basketball team with a cool haircut like sportsmen usually keep. But there is
more to it than Lucas just playing basketball this season when viewers see his
Jersey with ‘number 8’. Therefore, the number directly connected it to the
associated player Kobe Bryant. As Black Mamba started his basketball career with
number 8 Jersey and is now remembered as one of the greatest players in
basketball history.
