VIDEO: Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth Perform During Lakers Halftime Show in Homage to Kobe Bryant
By Karl Rasmussen
The Los Angeles Lakers pulled out all the stops in order to pay their respects to the late Kobe Bryant. Fans at Staples Center, who are no doubt still grieving the loss of Bryant, were treated to a touching halftime show by the tandem of Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth. The pair performed their popular song, "See You Again" in a performance that very likely had tears pouring out of the eyes of those in attendance and fans watching from home.

Khalifa was wearing a Lakers jacket and some purple, gold and white Jordan 1's, while Bryant's image was displayed along the sideline and on the Jumbotron.
The emotional song was a perfect tribute to Kobe, Gianna and the seven others who lost their lives in the helicopter crash in Calabasas.
