Even the NFL paid tribute to Kobe:

KB 8 and 24...over and out; but the legend remains....Now is about time to put up that Kobe Statue at Staples center.

Still Hard to Accept that He's Gone Too Soon

Devastated why he has to go this early. There will never be another Kobe Bryant! God bless his love once he left behind.

Rest in Peace Black Mamba

When both of my parents died, the hardest part is not letting go of whom we have lost, it's finding the strength and courage to move forward without them.

 

Grief is an obstacle course filled with unanswerable questions, terrible longings and deep regrets. But it eventually ends. I can handle that.

 

But I am unwilling to go through the pain again. It's ferocious, uncaring. unsympathetic.

 

Although my relations with Kobe was neither familial nor personal; he was my IDOL, enough to have left an imprint in my adult life as a basketball enthusiast. Wonderful thoughts that are now stained with suffering, again...

 

And that was why, on an ordinary misty-drenched early morning of January 27, 2020; I allowed myself to cry again.

 

At age 52, old and retired, I am broken yet again. Nevertheless, I knew I can handle that, yet again.

I will never forget the moment he smiled and took my handshake on his first visit to Manila

 

I knew then he was destined for GREATNESS

I am not a basketball die hard fan but his life principle will forever inspire me to adopt his Mamba mentality.. RIP Kobe Bryant..

I'm still lost for words.

If they don't retire the jersey, maybe ensuring that whoever has the opportunity to wear his number, wears it with honour and pride. Who has a work hard to perfect his craft type of player. Not a big head, big mouthed, ugly on & off the court attitude type of player. Regardless of who he is and how great he is or can be, he needs to show he is worthy! It's now not only a number but a number with a story.

Even with 2 million petitions in change.org, NBA is not keen on changing the current NBA logo.

 

 

 

 

I don't think Jerry West won't mind since he's passing it from one Laker to another.

You can see Gigi to be good as well here:

 

 

Gigi is #2 jersey there. The moves, so much like Kobe. So much potential we won't see now. Taken away too soon with her father and teammates.
