Kobe Bryants death sent shock waves across the world Sunday and fans of the five-time NBA champion and the late Los Angeles Lakers legend called on the league to make a change.
Fans urged the NBA to change the logo from a figure of Jerry West to Bryant in honor of the sharpshooter who was among those killed in a helicopter crash in California.

Kobe was an excellent basketball player as far as a TEAM player not so much!! Frankly I thought he was VERY self centered on the NBA however his work AFTER the NBA changed my mind towards him!!! Kobe did a HELL of a lot in time AND money for kids in ghetto communities he went above and beyond most as far as these kids are concerned!!! He also did ALL of this work and giving to these kids VERY QUIETLY no fan fare, no media, just quietly!!! He GAVE hundreds of kids full boat financially to college, he has set up tutoring in these communities to help these kids with their USELESS schools AND of course endless sports programs to keep them off the streets with gangs!!! He had become a SUPERIOR husband and father AFTER NBA after retiring Kobe became a TRUE roll model for men in the black community!!!!
You can’t tell the race of the player from the current logo, if you didn’t know it was modeled after Jerry West. Unless you put a big-ass fro on the player, then I suppose that would be a giveaway.
Not a rapist. Not even close. Ridiculous. He was set up and victimized by a 19 year old mentally ill whore who tried to mine him for cash.

It seems pretty clear he forced himself on the woman. Her blood was on his t-shirt, she had dozens of small vaginal injuries. She went immediately to the hospital, so its not something she thought up years later.
She dropped the criminal case in exchange for an apology, after being told that a he-said, she-said with a multi-millionaire who had thousands of fans was not going to go well for her.
She later settled for an undisclosed monetary payment (rumored to be around 1.5 million) in the civil suit.
David French, Trump-hater, constant scold about how we cant ignore peoples bad character even if they save us from Hillary Clinton, was scolding people this morning for having the audacity to talk about Kobes lack of character in raping a woman because it turns out David French apparently really likes Kobe.

I wonder if the NBA would consider a likeness of Bill Laimbeer for the NBA? Just asking for a friend.
Retire his number leauge wide.
Mark Cuban already retired it for the Mavericks.
A question. What if it was Larry Bird, instead?
The true sign of low class is worship of celebrities.
I have not seen this many grown men cry since seeing the movie Ol Yeller
Schizo with 3 different semen samples in her.
He boinked all sorts of women on the road sorry stop your slobbering all over the dude
I’m familiar with lots of players but honestly haven’t seen one minute of basketball in at least the last 15 years.
Got no dog in the hunt but this all seems like an over-reaction. He was one guy, a guy who played a kids game.
Teams he never played for retiring his jersey? Changing the entire league logo?
Wow, so what happens if a championship team plane crashes sometime. The game is over because there won’t be any numbers left.
No, he’s White and a jerk.
Well maybe Mothers In Law.
