Tatum names new puppy after Kobe

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum has found an adorable way to honor Kobe Bryant.

Tatum will bring home a new French bulldog puppy in four weeks, and he's decided to name it Bean after Bryant's middle name, according to Nicole Yang of the Boston Globe.

The breeder, Humble Breed Bullies in Philadelphia, shared a photo of Bean on Instagram.

Tatum grew up idolizing Bryant and had the opportunity to train with the Los Angeles Lakers legend in 2018, which he called "a dream come true."
