I admire Kobe Bryant’s decision to forgo surgery as much as the next guy. But TheLakersNation.com has taken their appreciation to an entirely different level:

For the fans, from the fans, we have created the Vittiz. Exclusively made and available only at TheLakersNation.com, the Vittiz is a way for you to show the love, honor and support of his decision to play this upcoming season.

Sport the Vittiz (a pinky sleeve) in appreciation for the man who helped lead and give respect back to USA Basketball!
