The death of this legendary historic basketball player Kobe Bryant has effected the game of basketball all over the world. NBA teams have honored him in there arenas before games and has worn his shirts and shoes in pregame. Also all of the teams have taken 24 second shot clock violation to honor Kobe Bryant once the game starts. The NBA has even started a petition to get the NBA logo changed to Kobe Bean Bryant. A lot of professional players are dedicating there seasons to him. There also honoring him by not wearing 24 & 8 his two numbers that he wore during his career.
Its effecting the basketball world more than just at the professional level its even hit college and high school. Plenty of college players have been writing on there shoes hashtags that are dedicated to Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi who also died in the helicopter crash along with other families. During my lil brother high school city championship game they even took time before the game to honor Kobe and his daughter after the national anthem for 24 seconds.
Kobe’s knowledge and hard work that he’s put into the game has influenced the whole game of basketball and the players that play it today. His traditional will live on and his legacy will continue to be brought to light today and for time to come. He was true definition of a “bucket” and a walking legend. I would now like to wish his family my condolences and let them know I pray for the best.
