Lloyd is undoubtedly on a tear right now (she has scored goals in the last seven games that she has played) and she took the time to dedicate her latest goal to one of her admirers, Kobe Bryant, who had previously defended her on Twitter from a couple of internet trolls.
That goal I scored last night was for you @kobebryant. Thanks for having my back!! 👍🏼👊🏼

Well known for his love of soccer, Kobe was very appreciative of the Carli’s shout out.
