Fans of the late LA Lakers legend want to see the NBA create a lasting tribute to the icon.
By, some of the NBA icon's devoted fans have come up with an idea for a lasting tribute that will truly cement his legacy as a titan of the sport.aimed at convincing the National Basketball Association to honor Bryant by changing the league's famous logo to feature the Los Angeles Lakers legend.
As it stands, the NBA logo prominently features the silhouette of another Lakers icon, Jerry West. However, the creator of the successful petition, Nick M., elaborated on the effort's goals. "With the untimely and unexpected passing of the great Kobe Bryant please sign this petition in an attempt to immortalize him forever as the new NBA Logo," the Change.org page explained."I wish Kobe was still here and I never had to make this petition to begin with. But sadly that isn’t the case, my condolences go out to the Bryant family and everyone who was involved in this accident. Once again thank you all.
By Monday evening, over 1.3 million people had already signed the petition, with more fans adding their names every few seconds. And a lot of that support is stemming from some big stars -- many of whom were friends and fans of Bryant -- spreading the word about the campaign. "New logo. @nba Let’s do what’s right," Snoop Dogg wrote on Instagram, alongside the concept art suggested on the petition page, which was created by designer Tyson Beck. Meek Mill and Justin Bieber were just a few other stars who also want to see the change.
