If you're anything like me, you still think Snoop Dogg is one of the baddest guys in the game.

Well, the "Drop It Like It's Hot" rapper just got even cooler — if that's humanly possible. In celebration of the Los Angeles Lakers' 17th championship win, he got some powerful new ink.

Snoop proudly showed off his new tat in a recent Instagram video. It pays tribute to Kobe Bryant, the beloved Lakers star who tragically died in a helicopter crash earlier this year, along with his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven other people.

The Black Mamba's initials sit on the rapper's wrist. Above them are the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy and the Lakers logo over a basketball. Beyond that, the gates of heaven are surrounded by clouds.

"Laker Nation. Thank y’all, Lakers," the longtime fan said.
"And thank you, Mister Cartoon, in a real motherfuckin' way," he continued in a shoutout to his tattoo artist.

"We the West, and we the best. Fuck outta here," Snoop finished.
