Snoop Dogg is honoring Kobe Bryant.

The rapper paid tribute to the late basketball star during the virtual 2020 ESPY Awards on Sunday night (June 21).

Snoop rapped as video of Kobe – as well as footage of the many stunning murals that have popped up in tribute to him – played.

Snoop took viewers through Kobe‘s career highlights with his words, saying, “All grit no smile … Let’s do it mamba style.”

“A friend and leader, understandably. And you did it candidly,” Snoop rapped. “Your reign in the city remains … greatness in your name.”

Kobe and 13-year-old daughter Gianna died from a helicopter crash back in February.
