Chris Paul to Kobe Bryant: 'Won't be the same without you!'

Chris Paul knows the NBA won't be the same without Kobe Bryant.

The Clippers point guard, who appeared in nine NBA All-Star Games with the Lakers' legendary shooting guard during their careers, posted an homage to Bryant to Instagram on Monday.

It's clear CP3 holds the retiring Bryant in high regard, even though Paul's 6-year-old son did steal the ball from Kobe during All-Star Weekend.

The West Team did send Bryant off a winner in his final All-Star Game, in which, Paul scored 14 points and added 15 assists.
