Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving isn’t afraid to speak his mind. And like many others across the league, Irving wants to see change when it comes to the NBA logo. Los Angeles Lakers legend Jerry West has been the symbol of the league since 1969, but Irving believes that the league should do whatever it takes to make the late Kobe Bryant the new logo. "Gotta Happen," Irving wrote on his Instagram. "Idc what anyone says. BLACK KINGS BUILT THE LEAGUE."
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban told TMZ Sports that he’s on board with changing the NBA logo to Bryant. He said that he "would support it."
"I just think it's so much more than basketball," Cuban told TMZ. "He brought so many people together."
Even though West is considered to be the NBA’s logo, the league never admitted that it featured a specific player. Sources familiar with the league told Yahoo Sports that there is no interest in having an individual player as its logo because there are so many who have been instrumental in the growth of the NBA.

Black players should unite and form their own league with exclusively black owners and coaches.
Could they compete with the existing league? Would they be able to attract the viewers and have decent TV ratings? 🤔
Let the market decide. ⛹🏿♂️ or ⛹️♂️
Blacks want the NBA to be totally black. OK, then how about white people have a total white team where you can’t walk, double dribble or carry. Players would actually guard and make clever plays.
What Kyrie and the NBA performs is not basketball, as invented...by a white guy.
He left out the, "...'N Sheeit!"
Most idiots aren’t.
Who cares what they say? Most of them can’t read, and if it wasn’t for corporate seats and the American infantile adoration of athletics they would be loading TEC9s down in the flats.
Breeders. Circa 1800 created the NBA stock
If that happens, that'll be TWO sports that I never watch.
Big deal. So’s George Washington;-)
I drove by Valley Forge University today.
They are the “Patriots” and the mascot is a White male.
How long do you think that lasts?...
White money built the league; that is why when we lost our NBA team in NJ it went to Brooklyn - not Newark, as the city wanted. The owners understood there was no money to be made in a welfare dump like that.
A White KING!!!!
Lol exactly, And regarding “blacks built this country”- they gave the same contribution as the pack animals did-manual labor. If I have to recognize that as a contribution, then I will also recognize the contribution of horses and donkeys. All the ideas and details of implementing the ideas came from whites. It’s the usual black BS-make some insignificant “contribution” via manual labor, or very late in the game, after whites laid the groundwork-and then demand credit for the whole thing while dismissing the whites who had the vision, or even the majority of the initial effort. Like giving credit for the first (and only) men on the men to every black janitor who may have worked at NASA. Or how the Tuskeegee airmen single-handedly won WWII.
“Where is the race with this logo?”
It’s obvious. The entire silhouette of the person is WHITE, even the basketball.
Your logo definitely shows a WHITE player!
Eatooed freaks making gang signs.
