Over 400,000 Fans Call For NBA to
Immortalize Kobe Bryant in New Logo A recent petition posted on change.org is demanding the NBA
remake their logo to include basketball legend Kobe Bryant. Bryant tragically died on Jan. 26 in a helicopter
crash with his daughter, Gianna, and seven others. He was one of the highest regarded players in the
history of the league, with five NBA championships,
two Olympic gold medals, and 18 NBA All-Star selections. According to the petition’s description, making Bryant
the new NBA logo would “immortalize him forever.” Nick M, via change.org So far 425,100 people have
signed on in support of replacing
the NBA logo with Bryant. The current NBA logo, commissioned in 1969, features
a silhouette of former Lakers legend Jerry West.
