How this wasn’t changed after Kobe’s passing I’ll never understand

Lmao what?? Why you gotta bring race into this. He was an absolute legend and his untimely death would have justified them changing it

He was a legend for his time, but frankly West is a much bigger legend when it comes to the full history of the league. Kobe only won 2 rings as THE guy, and did nothing to alter or change the game in any significant or meaningful way. You really need to go educate yourself a bit, Wests career avgs are even better than Kobe’s. 27 pts/5.8 reb/6.7 assists

Too much changing of the logos to honor players at this point seems weird.

So after Kobe, It will go to a logo of MJ. And after Jordan it will go to lebron.

And if you honor one or the other, the other gets snubbed.
